Possible Expanision
The league has expressed an interest before the start of the 2017 season. The league wants to grow outside its borders whilst develop domestically. Any club wanting to join should contact Stewart Florian on Skype. On the day of forming it was announced that two teams from Serbica will be entering the league. The league one day hopes that Serbica, however, will make a domestic league and that teams for the UPO will join the league. Teams from the UPO will enter the 2018 season.
