The Peniston Oils Four Nations, commonly shortened to 'the Four Nations', is the highest-level football league in Gerenia, Jingdao/Zeeburg, Safiria and Senya. The league involves thirty-two teams, each playing 12 fixtures, to qualify for the playoffs at the end of the season.
Format
First Half
The thirty-two teams are split into eight divisions of four teams each, consisting of clubs from the same country. Each club plays the others in their division twice (a total of 6 games each).
Second Half
The teams are again split into eight divisions of four teams each, but this time, playing against one team from each other country, and playing teams that finished with a different rank in the first half. The teams play a further 6 games in this division, then the eight division winners advance to the playoffs.
Playoffs
The 8 division winners from the second half of the season enter a knockout cup to determine the league champion. The teams are seeded based on their overall record across the entire season, and play the following matches.
- 1st v 8th
- 2nd v 7th
- 3rd v 6th
- 4th v 5th
The winners of these quarter finals move to the semi finals, where the highest remaining seed plays the lowest remaining seed, with the two other teams playing each other, with the winners of those games advancing to the final.
