INTRODUCTION
The Neloxian Premier League has been in existence since the 2009 season, a decade after the Neloxian Confederacy was formed. Through the vision of C. Pritchell Meyer, the President of the nation and rabid football fan, resources were invested in ensuring a strong youth football program and the hope was, a team able to compete with the most formidable in the world. Meyer believed that if Neloxia could compete on the global athletic stage, it'd lead to increasing the country's influence around the world.
The year is now 2062 and few doubt Neloxia's influence on the global stage. The nation remains an economic powerhouse amongst the world's largest, remains politically non-aligned and focused more on cultivating relations as a financial centre and global trade partner.
Our focus here is on the arena of sport, specifically football. We are currently in the midst of 2062 World Cup being held in South Africa, where the Neloxia team clings to hopes of claiming their first-ever World Cup title. After winning Group B, they have setup a second-round match against defending World Cup champions Haiti.
Here are the results from group play:
