Vrassa City Football Team Clinch Inaugural Championship Title

May 5065

The final day of the first Kalistani Football Championship (KFC) has ended with Vrassa clinching the title by dint of a superior points scored against points conceded, after both Vrassa and Eshar finishes with twenty five wins in the 38 match season. At the start of the final round of games six teams had a chance of claiming the championship title, demonstrating the competitive nature of the league fostered by restrictions on maximum player salaries, transfers between clubs and a pre-season draft that fairly distributed emerging talent.



Vrassa Captain Giuseppe Mbeppe hold back his emotions after the final quarter finishes and Vrassa clinch the title.

KFC President Brett Gullivan presented the Championship trophy to the captain of the Vrassa team. After the presentation Brett Gullivan declared the first Championship “an absolute success”. Although ticket sales had been patchy for some of the franchises, he was looking forward to negotiating a mixed package of TV deals with domestic networks, and a possible offer for a foreign TV network to buy the rights to show some games. Revenues raised will be distributed to the different franchises to provide important revenue for those clubs that are seeking to begin building new stadiums. However, some teams had already discussed that they have cancelled plans to create new infrastructure, preferring to stick with shared stadiums with university sports teams.

June 5065

After three months of investigations the Ministry of Justice have announced the first arrests of current and former military personnel following allegations of corruption. Although no senior officers are believe to have been involved, it has been reported that a number of officers involved in capability development, arms procurements and defence contracting have been caught up in the arrests.

The Justice Minister, Albrecht Harris, when asked for comment tersely briefed that “investigations were ongoing and enough evidence had been collated to indicate some serving and former members of the Kalistani Armed Forces may have broken the law”. When pushed for further details the Minister reminded journalists that it was a hallmark of Kalistani law that everyone was innocent until proven guilty and that further comment would jeopardise a fair trial in front of a jury.
