End of Season 2 and Expansion Draft Results

[Canadice]

Conclusion to the Second Season

We would like to congratulate Hollywood FC for completing the first double in league history, winning the league with 3 games to spare and pulling off a great comeback in the Cup Final against Inter London. Hollywood will have the chance to complete the treble in the SSL Shield facing off against the league runner up Athênai F.C.

Off-season Preparation

As always the SSL Calendar shows the important dates for the weeks to come but we will summarize them here:

Retirements
Players who announced their retired after the Trade Deadline in S1 or prior to the Trade Deadline in S2 are now set for retirement at the end of the off-season.

Pending Free Agents
Starting on Monday, all pending free agents can start talking to all teams for a possible Free Agent Signing without tampering. Players can sign an extension with their current team during this upcoming week but must wait until the start of S3 to sign with a new team. Any signing happening after the start of the new season would mean that the team signing the player is required to reduce their transfer budget in accordance with the player's transfer value.

SSL Prospect Draft
A lot of new prospects have joined the league in the past few weeks and we are less than one week away from the SSl Prospect draft. More information about this event will be provided during the week as the details are still being discussed.

FC Rio Relocation
As part of the hire of @ColeMrtz as the new manager of FC Rio, the BoD also approved an application for relocation. Starting in S3 the team will be playing in Seoul, South Korea, and the new branding will be announced by the team at a later date.

Expansion Teams and Draft Results

We are proud to announce the locations for the two new SSL Teams. Each team will announce their respective branding at a later date.



@pauadrian and @Aneeqs will be managing Sydney City meaning we now have all continents with permanent habitation represented in the league.

@Zema will lead the Club Atlético Buenos Aires in the Argentinian capital.
