No it doesn't , and that's why:

Esp 1258 users
Pol 792 users
Chi 544 users

Tot 2594 users

Bel 159
Fin 179
Tur 365

Tot 703 users

So, 11/2594= 0,4% and 9/703 =1,2%

That's it, from small countries there is 3x chance to arrive in b3 final and that's because is more easy to arrive in Pro League and keep it.

There were small amount of Scotland teams in CL finals that Italy teams or English teams and that's because the teams and league are by far more competitive.

P.s.: i dont check enough but i beleive that small nation teams turnover at B3 league are much less that big nation. So this is game fair for very little portion of small nation, in my point of view.

i guess it is not that much enticing to play this game since there is not much competition and a buzzing community.

Yeah but if you take advantage from this inequality of revenue, you can compete in b3 league with other teams that to arrive there have to do x3 difficoulty, without any sense.
Teams in Norway soccer league are not discourage to compete in regional league, because otherwise there would be no league.

This could be a way to increase interest in NT results and rankings among the entire participating community!

Thank you,

you are missing the point that this is not sport but a game, people's enthusiasm are just for their own team. they are not fan but a player here.

I suggest to gather all the countries with less than a 100 users in a Nation of, aiming to have 500+ teams in every Nation of

Yes this can be an option too!

If I did not miss any, there are 8 countries with 400+ users which in total have 6843 users. The rest (7391 users) are from small countries.

Therefore 11/6843= 0,16%; 9/7391= 0,12%.

It's easier to get there for a big nation team.

It's not easier, but teams like Astana can play in the Champions-League, Sheriff Tiraspol managed to upset Real Madrid and cause a big shock. But they did not reach the next stages of the group. How many teams from micronations or smaller nations have won the B3?

How many are even able to reach the last 32 or 16 teams, from micronations or smaller countries let's say less than 100 users?

This for me just feels like the Super League fiasco all over again, where Real Madrid, Juventus and Barcelona were crying because apparently they need even more money.


Of course it's not the same competing in a smaller nation compared to nations like Spain, Italy, Polska or China.

The bigger nations have

- Bigger revenue because of their league's ranking
- Bigger merchandise because of their nation's ranking
- A MUCH bigger chance of success in the u21 and NT competitions, where smaller nations can BARELY compete with them
- More motivation to stay in the game, learn and improve since the competition is much higher
- More knowledge available from a bigger community, with many experienced users willing to help newer users or users looking to learn

How is this even a problem?

Teams from micronations should still have the same opportunity or close to it, to compete with the biggest nations.

Alternatively I would suggest to merge more nations that have 40-50 users into Nations Of., to increase competitiveness and engagement in the game from these nations.

Just take a look at nations like Crna Gora, Sakartvelo, Malaysia, they have national leagues and few users, but their top teams are 99% inferior compared to top teams from Italy, just in Italy you have 6 teams stronger than the best team from Sakartvelo. And these italian coaches are able to sustain these salaries, are they not?

I am sure if you were a top team in a nation like Crna Gora, your desire and motivation to keep playing BB would be much lower than in Italy, and also you would have probably left BB by now

what about making teams' TV revenue and merchandising being linked to the NT performances?
i mean, not exclusively, but NT performances having a considerable weight on the TV and merchandising formulas.

I think that would create a much bigger rift than needed, and it would be horrible because then nations with bigger users would always have the most dominating leagues, teams and NT's, so it does not make that much sense.

What could happen, instead, would be to have a league's ranking. And let's say that each rank increased 0.05 or 0.10% of TV contract and merchandise income, or attendance in these leagues.

This way top 1 league for example would benefit of around 10% increased TV Contract, or Merchandise, or Attendance.

Anyway, I don't know how much sense does it make to implement these measures to be honest. It would only solidfy top countries dominance in BBM and B3.

To me it seems quite ridiculous that wealthy teams and very established teams are somehow unsatisfied with current income system. Especially since the bigger the country, the wealthier the top teams are.
