Talks around the idea of an "Atlantic League"

[SailorBlue]

There's some huge ones in Russia, but nothing beats the 19,200 miles French side Pontivy made in 2015 to face the Tahitian club A S Pirae in the French Cup.

That's because in the French FA Cup all clubs in the French colonies are eligible.

Imagine us going to an FA Cup away game in the West Indies or Africa

They have local Sunday league type clubs. And the forces based there.

I suppose the furthest we could travel would be Guernsey who are FA affiliated. The Isle of Man has its own league not affiliated with our FA and not eligible for the FA Cup.

Would this league replace national leagues for all included coutries, or it would be just competition to provide more income? Overhere in Balkan we also have talks about regional league, but even more problems to solve on the road to such league.

The original article states that the clubs could leave their respective national leagues.

Which Balkan countries might I ask?

Lots of Balkan players play(ed) in Belgium though. Mostly Serbian ones. Oh I also remember Zukanovic (my favourite one tbh), Milicevic, Susic Smajic, Cocalic ... For some reason players from those countries always do well in Belgium.

Well, i follow only ex-Yu media, so it's mostly talk about some ex-Yu league. I think there were some meetings between clubs about it, but it wasn't serious.
