The '''Meckelnburgh United Soccer League''' is the sole professional sports league for [[Wikipedia:Association football|association football]] in [[Meckelnburgh]], operated by the [[Royal Meckelnburgh Soccer Federation]] The league was founded in 1684 AN as a formalization of friendlies matches played between teams since 1625 AN.
:''For the amateur league, see [[Meckelnish Soccer League]]''


The season aligns with international competitions, running from September through May (seasons are named after their concluding year). Because of the arctic weather in Meckelnburgh, games played November through March are often indoors, to avoid snow.
The '''Meckelnburgh Professional Soccer League''' ('''MPSL'''; [[Alexandrian language|Alexandrian]]: ''Ligue professionnelle Meckelmbourgeoise de football''; [[Aspiranto language|Aspiranto]]: ''Mekelnburga Profesia Futbalo-Ligo''), branded as '''Pro-League Soccer''', formerly known as the '''Meckelnburgh United Soccer League''', is the professional [[Wikipedia:Association football|association football]] league sanctioned in [[Meckelnburgh]], operated by the [[Royal Meckelnburgh Soccer Federation]]. It represents the sport's highest level in the kingdom. The league comprises 24 coed teams across two divisions, 12 in the Premier Division (tier 1) and 12 in the Challenger Division (tier 2).


The league core consists of 24 coed teams in two divisions, 12 in the Premier Division and 12 in the Challenger Division, representing the largest cities in the kingdom. The league also operates eight under-21 coed teams.
Pro-League Soccer was founded in 2020 CE as the first sanctioned league for Meckelnish soccer. Unlike most soccer leagues on Micras, the Pro-League Soccer has a fixed membership of professional, locally owned teams, instead of an association of clubs. The teams are each owned and managed by their local municipalities, except for the Albioch Firebirds and Lunden Cardsharps, funded by the Church of Meckelnburgh and the Queen respectively. Most of the major cities in Meckelnburgh host one team. All teams are organized and subsidized centrally by the Ministry of Culture & Sport, headquartered in Alexandretta.


Many of the best players from throughout the league are often also members of the [[Meckelnburgh national football team]], also managed by the Royal Meckelnburgh Soccer Federation.
Most members of the [[Meckelnburgh national football team]] are affiliated with teams in Pro-League Soccer.

=== Administration ===
Meckelnburgh Pro-League Soccer began as the Meckelnburgh United Soccer League, intended to be the unified league of competitive soccer in the kingdom. Funding for eight professional teams was allocated for the first season in 2020 CE. Due to the league's small size, two series were planned per season, and Season 2020 Series A concluded to much fanfare. A relegation division, the Challenger Division, was added in 2020 Series B. At the same time, Pro-League Soccer was confirmed to be a full co-ed league. For 2021 CE, the MUSL reached its final size of 24 teams, and the year was finally condensed into a single-series season.
Each team in the United Soccer League is owned and managed by the government. For most teams, the municipal authorities administer financing and facilities, with primary assistance from the Ministry of Sport & Culture, which serves to subsidize the league overall. Albioch Firebirds FK and Lunden Cardsharps SC are exceptions, funded by the Church of Meckelnburgh and the monarch respectively.


=== History ===
Following the performance of the Meckelnburgh national football team in the [[2021 FMF World Cup]], popular interest demanded the Royal Meckelnburgh Soccer Federation expand sanctioned play to amateur teams. A league comprised of privately owned, amateur clubs was established as the [[Meckelnburgh National Soccer League]] (tiers 3-5), branded as Meckelnish Soccer. The Meckelnburgh United Soccer League was reorganized as Pro-League Soccer to coordinate the expansion. Thus, the Meckelnish soccer pyramid expanded to five tiers.
While numerous independent clubs existed intermittently in the history of Meckelnburghish soccer, the current league format began to finalize in 1684 AN. That year, parliament established financing for a formal nationwide soccer team, with funding for eight professional teams and two under-21 teams. After attempting multiple formats throughout the 2020 season, the league settled on its present annual season.


Following the popularity of the 2020 season, parliament expanded funding to a two-tier, 24-team league, offering formal leagues to municipalities willing to complement national funding. Players for the expanded league have been sourced from amateur clubs from throughout the kingdom. The U-21 division was also expanded to eight cities, and received its own championship cup.  
==== Sanktago Saints' annus horribilis ====
In the [[2022 Meckelnburgh Pro-League Soccer|2022 Pro-League]] season, the Sanktago Saints carried the league, being both first-time season champions and first-time winners of the Royal Football Cup. However, fortunes did not last long. For the opener to the [[2023 Meckelnburgh Pro-League Soccer|2023 Pro-League]] season, the Sanktago Saints lost the Meckelnish Supercup, in a surprise upset, to the 2022 runner-up Victoria Clippers. The Sanktago Saints followed with an atrocious season performance that netted only 19 points, with 13 losses of 22 fixtures, and a goal differential of −11. The team made last in the Premier Division and was relegated.


An amateur league, lying below the professional divisions, has been considered as of 1698 AN, but not yet received funding.

=== Seasons ===
===Previous seasons===
Since the 2021 season, the United Soccer League plays a double round-robin series as part of the regular season, where each team from the Premier and Challenger Divisions meats the teams of their divisions twice. From the regular season, the top point winners from the Challenger Division are promoted to the Premier Division, and the bottom two teams from the Premier Division are relegated.


At the end of the season, a single-elimination tournament is played by the top eight teams of the Premier Division. The winner receives the Royal Football Cup.

The Pro-League Soccer season runs September through May. Starting in the 2021 CE season, Pro-League Soccer plays a double round-robin rotation as part of the regular season, where each team from the Premier and Challenger Divisions meats the follow teams in their divisions twice. From the results of the regular season, the top two performing teams from the Challenger Division are promoted to the Premier Division, and the bottom two performing teams from the Premier Division are relegated, automatically. The team from the Challenger division who earns the most points in the regular season earns the Community Shield.

}}


== Challenger Division ==
The top eight performing teams from the Premier Division qualify for a post-season championship. The winner of the three-round, single-elimination tournament earns the Royal Football Cup and is considered the season champion. As the opener of the next season, the winner of the Royal Football Cup and the previous season champion play for the Meckelnish Supercup. Should those be the same team, the season runner-up challenges the Supercup.

The Meckelnburgh Professional Soccer League (MPSL; Alexandrian: Ligue professionnelle Meckelmbourgeoise de football; Aspiranto: Mekelnburga Profesia Futbalo-Ligo), branded as Pro-League Soccer, formerly known as the Meckelnburgh United Soccer League, is the professional association football league sanctioned in Meckelnburgh, operated by the Royal Meckelnburgh Soccer Federation. It represents the sport's highest level in the kingdom. The league comprises 24 coed teams across two divisions, 12 in the Premier Division (tier 1) and 12 in the Challenger Division (tier 2).

Pro-League Soccer was founded in 2020 CE as the first sanctioned league for Meckelnish soccer. Unlike most soccer leagues on Micras, the Pro-League Soccer has a fixed membership of professional, locally owned teams, instead of an association of clubs. The teams are each owned and managed by their local municipalities, except for the Albioch Firebirds and Lunden Cardsharps, funded by the Church of Meckelnburgh and the Queen respectively. Most of the major cities in Meckelnburgh host one team. All teams are organized and subsidized centrally by the Ministry of Culture & Sport, headquartered in Alexandretta.

Most members of the Meckelnburgh national football team are affiliated with teams in Pro-League Soccer.

History

Meckelnburgh Pro-League Soccer began as the Meckelnburgh United Soccer League, intended to be the unified league of competitive soccer in the kingdom. Funding for eight professional teams was allocated for the first season in 2020 CE. Due to the league's small size, two series were planned per season, and Season 2020 Series A concluded to much fanfare. A relegation division, the Challenger Division, was added in 2020 Series B. At the same time, Pro-League Soccer was confirmed to be a full co-ed league. For 2021 CE, the MUSL reached its final size of 24 teams, and the year was finally condensed into a single-series season.

Following the performance of the Meckelnburgh national football team in the 2021 FMF World Cup, popular interest demanded the Royal Meckelnburgh Soccer Federation expand sanctioned play to amateur teams. A league comprised of privately owned, amateur clubs was established as the Meckelnburgh National Soccer League (tiers 3-5), branded as Meckelnish Soccer. The Meckelnburgh United Soccer League was reorganized as Pro-League Soccer to coordinate the expansion. Thus, the Meckelnish soccer pyramid expanded to five tiers.

Sanktago Saints' annus horribilis

In the 2022 Pro-League season, the Sanktago Saints carried the league, being both first-time season champions and first-time winners of the Royal Football Cup. However, fortunes did not last long. For the opener to the 2023 Pro-League season, the Sanktago Saints lost the Meckelnish Supercup, in a surprise upset, to the 2022 runner-up Victoria Clippers. The Sanktago Saints followed with an atrocious season performance that netted only 19 points, with 13 losses of 22 fixtures, and a goal differential of −11. The team made last in the Premier Division and was relegated.

    Season format

    The Pro-League Soccer season runs September through May. Starting in the 2021 CE season, Pro-League Soccer plays a double round-robin rotation as part of the regular season, where each team from the Premier and Challenger Divisions meats the follow teams in their divisions twice. From the results of the regular season, the top two performing teams from the Challenger Division are promoted to the Premier Division, and the bottom two performing teams from the Premier Division are relegated, automatically. The team from the Challenger division who earns the most points in the regular season earns the Community Shield.

    The top eight performing teams from the Premier Division qualify for a post-season championship. The winner of the three-round, single-elimination tournament earns the Royal Football Cup and is considered the season champion. As the opener of the next season, the winner of the Royal Football Cup and the previous season champion play for the Meckelnish Supercup. Should those be the same team, the season runner-up challenges the Supercup.
