A number of you have recently asked us about the status of the new league. The last we heard, a committee had been formed and a decision regarding the structure of the new league would be made within a couple of weeks. However, that was the beginning of June. So what has been going on since?
Owners have been focusing on regionalizing the league. Under this structure, the majority of a club's games would be played against teams from a specified local region. Teams would crossover and play inter-regional games, but there would be fewer meetings. This structure would allow the league to become more economically streamlined as travel costs would be reduced.
However, the new league structure has not been finalized because owners have yet to determine the number of scheduled league games. The Ironmen front office has told the Local Fe26 that the team is still intent on playing 15 home games next season. If the number of league games are reduced, Ironmen officials are considering the possibility of scheduling friendlies against international clubs to make up for the lost home games.
The Ironmen front office has also told us that the start to next season will most likely be pushed back as a result of the delay in finalizing the new league structure. League owners will formally announce the new structure once all details have been hammered out.
The Ironmen expressed that they are looking forward to the upcoming season and thanked the supporters for their patience while the matter gets worked out.
As always, we here at the Local Fe26 will keep you updated as soon as anything develops.
