The joint Elite and Challenge Cup postponed as Lebanon enters a new lockdown period

Official football competitions have stopped in Lebanon since October 2019 due to the economic and social situation in the country, which fuelled nation-wide protests. Unofficial football matches have also stopped since March 2020, due to COVID-19 pandemic. 
Lockdown measures have been gradually lifted in May and June 2020, but a new wave of infection led the government to impose a new lockdown, starting on the 30th of July, and this is said to last at least until the 10th of August, with a small break in the middle of the next week.
Therefore, the joint Elite and Challenge Cup, scheduled to start this Saturday, the 1st of August, has been postponed. The first round matches in Group A were initially scheduled on Saturday at 4:30, involving a very expected clash between champions Al Ahed and Bourj FC. First round matches in Group B and Group C were initially scheduled on Sunday and Monday. The entire competition must be rescheduled and even the start of the Lebanese Premier League, set for mid-September, might be in danger.
Training sessions have also stopped. Some of the football clubs announced that they will resume training sessions during the break in the next week, before the ban on any collective activity would re-enter into force.

The 2020-2021 Slovak 3. Liga will start on the 1st of August with 3 new teams in the Východ (East) Group

Amidst general concern regarding the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Slovak regional football associations decided to start the 2020-2021 season of the 3. Liga in the next week-end, on the 1st of August (Saturday) and the 2nd of August (Sunday), for the East and Central groups, and in the other week-end, on the 7th and 8th of August, for the West and Bratislava groups. The first match of the 2020-2021 3. Liga will actually be played on Friday, the 31st of July, between TJ Tatran Oravské Veselé and FK Cadca, at 5:30 pm local time (3:30 pm UTC), in the Stred (Central) Group. Most of the 3. Liga teams have already played an official match in the first round of the Slovakian Cup, on the 25th or 26th of July 2020.
The four groups will basically start with the same 16 teams each, as the 2019-2020 was cancelled, and there was no promotion to 2. Liga or relegation to 4. Liga. However, there are slight changes, because several teams withdrew from the competition. This happened even in the 2. Liga, where Ružomberok B (the second team of Super League team Ružomberok) withdrew, and apparently the 2. Liga will start in the next week-end with only 15 teams.
The number of withdrawn teams is higher in the 3. Liga, where the COVID-19 pandemic had a bigger impact on club budgets. In the Východ (East) Group, three teams have withdrawn: FK Poprad B, OŠFK Šarišské Michal'any and TJ Vel'ké Revištia. They have been replaced by MŠK Spišské Podhradie, Slávia TU Košice and FK Sobrance - Sobranecko. Initially, only FK Poprad B withdrew, and the Východ (East) Regional Football Association agreed to admit both MŠK Spišské Podhradie (2nd classified in the 2018-2019 4. Liga North) and Slávia TU Košice (2nd classified in the 2018-2019 4. Liga South) in their place, therefore increasing the number of participants to 17. It is worth mentioning that these two teams, MŠK Spišské Podhradie and Slávia TU Košice, were clear leaders of the two eastern 4. Liga groups when the 2019-2020 season was cancelled, and were therefore the main candidates for promotion to the 2020-2021 3. Liga - Východ (East) Group.
Then, when OŠFK Šarišské Michal'any eventually withdrew, the number of teams was reduced to the usual 16. The final change (so far) occurred when TJ Vel'ké Revištia changed their name (and actually their location) to FK Sobrance - Sobranecko. The new team officially acquired all the rights and the history of TJ Vel'ké Revištia, while unofficially it is clearly related to the former MFK Sobrance, a club which competed in the 4. Liga - South, and finished 7th at the end of the 2018-2019 season, the last season which was completed, and were in the 13th position when the 2019-2020 season was interrupted and then cancelled. MFK Sobrance no longer enrolled for the 2020-2021 4. Liga, so it pretty much looks like a transfer of places between the two teams, made according to the legal regulations, or rather bypassing the regulations. It is worth mentioning that TJ Vel'ké Revištia were last classified and seemed to be in big trouble when the 2019-2020 3. Liga season was interrupted and then cancelled. No team from Vel'ké Revištia is enrolled in any league so far for the 2020-2021 season.
With one exception, matches in the first round of the 3. Liga - Východ (East) Group will all kick off at 4.30 pm local time (2.30 pm UTC) on the 1st and 2nd of August. The fixtures are the following:

MFK Vranov nad Topl'ou - MŠK Spišské Podhradie (Saturday, 4:30 pm)
FK Humenné - ŠK Odeva Lipany (Saturday, 4:30 pm)
FK NOVES Spišská Nová Ves - 1. FK Svidník (Saturday, 4:30 pm)
Slávia TU Košice - FK POKROK SEZ Krompachy (Sunday, 10:30 am)
TJ Mladost' Kalša - 1. FC Tatran Prešov (Sunday, 4:30 pm)
MŠK Tesla Stropkov - Millenium 2000 Bardejovská Nová Ves (Sunday, 4:30 pm)
MFK Snina - FK Sobrance-Sobranecko (Sunday, 4:30 pm)
FK Družstevník Plavnica - MFK Slovan Giraltovce (Sunday, 4:30 pm)

The second round will be played on Wednesday, the 5th of August, kicking off at 4:30 pm local time, while the third round will be played during the next week-end, on the 8th and 9th of August, also kicking off at 4:30 pm local time.
It is hard to predict which teams will be involved in the fight for promotion and to avoid relegation. If one considers the situation of the 2019-2020 cancelled season, 1. FC Tatran Prešov, ŠK Odeva Lipany, MFK Vranov nad Topl'ou and FK Humenné would be the candidates for the top spot. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated economic crisis might have changed the strengths of the teams, therefore it is almost impossible to tell which teams will be most likely to be on top positions or in the lower part of the classification.
1. FK Svidník were in a bad situation even before the pandemic. They had a good first part of the 2019-2020 season, and were classified 9th (out of 16) after 17 rounds, when the competition was interrupted and then cancelled. This was a mid-table position which involved no stress for the second part of the season. However, just like everyone else, their last official game was played in November 2019. Problems at the club began in winter, when the club president, Jozef Žák, faced certain legal issues. By February 2020, the situation at the club worsened, as training sessions did not resume properly and on time to prepare the spring part of the season. The COVID-19 pandemic postponed a decision regarding the club management. In June 2020, the club enrolled for the 3. Liga and head coach Róbert Petruš said that he hopes the club is able to start the season and to solve the financial issues with the players, who haven't been paid in months.

They will start the league just like a year ago, with an away match at Spišská Nová Ves on Saturday, then comes the local derby against Tesla Stropkov at home on Wednesday, and again away at MFK Snina the next Sunday. Three difficult matches in the first three rounds. More details about the situation at the club and the news regarding the roster will be probably available soon. For the moment, the club website has completely disappeared (it was anyway outdated and unchanged for at least 2 years) and the Facebook page is yet silent. Not even the local weekly newspaper Poddukliansky Novinky has published any news related to the club lately.

Total Soccer FC (updated)

 

Total Soccer FC

 

Total Soccer Fútbol Club, better known as Total Soccer, is an amateur football club founded in 2013 by Juan Gabriel Sepúlveda, based in Medellín, but also partially in La Ceja, Department of Antioquia, Colombia, which currently compete in Primera C, the third tier in Colombian football and the highest level available for amateur teams. They became champions of the Colombian Primera C at their first ever participation in 2022. They also compete in the regional Primera A of the Antioquia Football League, where they finished as runners-up in 2021. The club has focused mainly on the academy and young players and their youth (U20) team takes part in the First Division of the Colombian Youth League (Supercopa Juvenil in Spanish). In 2019 the youth team reached the quarter-finals of the Colombian Youth League, the only amateur team to get to this stage of the competition. They also have several junior teams, enrolled in national or regional leagues. Manager Juan Gabriel Sepúlveda is also the founder and owner of the club, and he supervises all the activities. Their home ground is usually Maria Auxiliadora Stadium, which has a capacity for about 1,000 spectators, and is located in La Ceja, a municipality close to Medellín. However, they also use Marte 1 Stadium (part of Atanasio Girardot Sports Complex) in Medellín for important matches. The club colours are blue and white.

History

 

Juan Gabriel Sepúlveda Urrego was born in 1975 in Santa Fe de Antioquia, son of manager Hernán de Jesús, and played for Envigado FC. In the meantime, he completed his studies and became professor of Physical Education, which allowed him to become also a coach within the ranks of Real Santa Fe de Antioquia and then Envigado FC.

In 2011, Juan Gabriel Sepúlveda gave up his job as coach of some junior teams belonging to Envigado FC and started training sessions unofficially, on his own, working initially with a small number of players he previously coached, who were not accepted in the professional ranks of Envigado FC and searched for an alternative way to continue training in the hope of becoming better football players and to be accepted by a professional team.

On the 2nd of September 2013, it all become official, as the new club received a license and registered with the name Total Soccer FC, inspired by the concept of total football implemented decades ago in the ranks of Ajax and the Netherlands national team.

Total Soccer FC, managed by Juan Gabriel Sepúlveda, gave a second chance to many players in Medellín area, who were refused or sent away by the big professional clubs. Gabriel Sepúlveda also started to work with children and teenagers, establishing youth teams of various ages, which were enrolled in the local and even national competitions. The U 15, U 16, U 17 are enrolled in the local Antioquia leagues, as well as the senior team, which currently plays in Primera A of the Antioquia League. The U 15, U 17 and U 20 teams are enrolled in national competitions.

 


Total Soccer team in 2015

 

Several players formed by Total Soccer FC eventually reached professional teams: Daniel Muñoz (Águilas Doradas, then Atlético Nacional, recently signed to KRC Genk), Santiago Orozco (Llaneros, then Patriotas), Geován Jarith Montes (Tigres de Bogotá), Santiago Noreña (Envigado), Jhon Jairo Palacios (Saquisili / Ecuador), Hayen Santiago Palacios (Atlético Nacional), Ronald Solórzano, Robert Rey Pertúz, Juan Manuel Araque, Juan Diego Lopera, Jacobo Escobar (Águilas Doradas, then Tigres de Bogotá), Brayan David Castrillón (Independiente Medellín, then Atlético Bucaramanga), Sebastián Zapata (Llaneros).

The club is mainly financed by sponsors, but also by the parents of children and teenagers playing for the club, by the owner of the club, Gabriel Sepúlveda, including loans and money coming from transfers to other clubs. As a result, the activity is focused mainly on the academy and the junior teams.

In 2016, for the first time Total Soccer U 20 team took part in the nation-wide Colombian Youth League, organized by the Colombian Football Federation. The number of accepted teams belonging to amateur clubs was reduced each year, but Total Soccer succeeded to maintain their position in the First Division (“A”) of the Colombian Youth League, reaching the quarter-finals of the competition in 2019, the only amateur team to achieve such a performance.

At the beginning of 2019, apart from head coach Juan Gabriel Sepúlveda, the Argentinian Diego Daniel Sánchez was brought to the club as assistant coach, to help out especially with the U 20 team, involved in the national Colombian Youth League, which was thought to become the third tier in the Colombian football pyramid (a sort of Primera C), as it is the only competition which includes both professional teams (belonging to Dimayor) and amateur teams (belonging to Difútbol).

Also in 2019, the senior team of Total Soccer became the champions of the Primera B in the Antioquia League, by winning 3-1 over Integrados Bello in the final. Therefore, they promoted to Primera A, the highest amateur competition in Antioquia.

The 2020 season of the Antioquia Football League First Division (Primera A) was cancelled after it had just started, due to the pandemic. The youth and junior competitions were also cancelled. The 2021 season was therefore the first one which Total Soccer completed in the Antioquia First Division, winning Stage 1 and eventually reaching the finals, which they lost 1-0 to Águilas Doradas B, ending the season as runners-up.

In 2022, Total Soccer enrolled for the first time in the nation-wide Primera C, which started with no less than 200 teams from all over Colombia. Total Soccer had a great campaign, winning their group, and then all the knock-out rounds, eventually reaching the finals, which they won 5-4 at penalty shoot-outs (3-3 on aggregate) over Equipo Azul, thus becoming the 2022 Primera C champions.

Because they focused on the Colombian Primera C, the results in the other competitions were not so great. They finished only 14th in the 2022 Primera A of the Antioquia Football League and only 8th in their group in the 2022 Colombian Youth League.

Stadium

 

Total Soccer used various grounds in and around Medellín, their home town, before moving to La Ceja, a municipality close to Medellín. Since 2018, when works at the Unidad Deportiva María Auxiliadora finished, they have mostly used the stadium in this sports complex located in La Ceja. The stadium has an artificial (synthetic) turf and a capacity for about 1,000 spectators. The new sporting complex covers an area of 5,500 m2 and belongs to the local government of La Ceja.

Before 2018, Total Soccer had used Carlos Alberto Bernal Stadium as their usual home ground. This older and larger sports complex has a capacity for 5,000 spectators, and is also located in La Ceja. The stadium, together with the sporting facilities around it, belong to INCERDE (Instituto Cejeño de la Recreación y el Deporte / La Ceja Institute for Leisure and Sports).

For important matches, especially in the final knock-out stages of the Colombian Primera C, or of the regional Primera A of the Antioquia Football League, Total Soccer have used Marte 1 Stadium in Medellín as their home ground. Marte 1 is located within a larger sports complex, Unidad Deportiva Atanasio Girardot, which also comprises the main city stadium, Atanasio Girardot, home to the professional teams of Medellín, Atlético Nacional and Independiente Medellín. Marte 1 Stadium lies side by side to the main Atanasio Girardot Stadium, and was built together with the main stadium in 1953. It has an artificial turf since 2008 and one stand, that has a capacity of 1,500 spectators. It belongs to INDER Medellín.

Crest

 

The crest of Total Soccer has a round shape and consists of two parts: an outer blue ring and a central football ball. On the outer blue ring, the name of the club, Total Soccer, is written in white letters on the upper side, with three white stars to the left, and other three stars to the right. On the lower side of the ring, the club’s logo is written in small white capital letters: “Transpiración al servicio de la inspiración”, meaning “Transpiration in the service of inspiration”.

 


 

The central football ball is mainly white with some blue patches.

The crest respects the two colours of the club, blue and white, the only colours used in the design of the crest. The crest is usually displayed on the shirts, in the centre or on the upper left side, and sometimes on the shorts, on the lower right side.

 

Kit colours

 

The usual colour of the home (main) kits is blue. Total Soccer have used full blue kits in most of the seasons. In 2022, the colours of the national flag of Colombia have been added on the front of the shirts, as horizontal stripes: the larger yellow stripe above, the blue in the middle, and the red below. On the blue stripe, the name of the club, Total Soccer, is imprinted, with the crest of the club in between the two words, ”Total” and ”Soccer”, right in the centre of the shirt.

The secondary (away) kits were green in 2022, including green shirts and shorts, but sometimes white socks. The Colombian flag was maintained on the green shirts, exactly the same as on the blue shirts.

Between 2019 and 2021, the home kits included mainly blue shirts, with a white stripe on the shoulders and white letters used for the name of sponsors. Shorts were also blue, with white sides. Socks were usually blue, but sometimes white socks were used.

In 2018, the main (home) kits included dark blue shirts, white shorts and white socks.

The alternative or away kits had included white shirts, white or blue shorts and white or blue socks. The white shirts may have two horizontal middle stripes, a blue one and a dark blue one. There are also blue stripes on the shoulders. The white or dark blue shorts may have lighter blue stripes on the sides.

Other kits have been also used, such as full white kits, as well as yellow shirts and dark blue shorts, for different age groups (junior sides).

The current kit sponsor is Novo. In 2022, Total Soccer did not have a shirt sponsor, and only the name of the club together with its crest were imprinted both on the front of the shirt (in the middle) and on the back of the shirt (in the lower part, below the number). The logos of the LAF (Liga Antioqueña de Fútbol / Antioquia Football League) and of the FCF (Colombian Football Federation) were maintained on the left sleeve and on the right sleeve, respectively. The club crest is also on the front right side of the shorts.

In 2020 and 2021, the shirt main sponsor was the local government in La Ceja, under the logo ”Deporte para Vivir Mejor” (which may be translated as ”Sports to live better”), which is accompanied below by the name of the sponsor, Administración Municipal La Ceja del Tambo (which may be translated as ”City Government of La Ceja del Tambo”).

One of the former shirt main sponsors was the betting company MasGol (2018-2019). The logo consisted of the sign + (más in Spanish) and the word GOL, under which came the slogan: ”El juego hecho para TODOS!” (”The game made for ALL!”).

Additional sponsors were INCERDE (Instituto Cejeño de la Recreación y el Deporte / La Ceja Institute for Leisure and Sports), whose logo was placed on the upper right side of the shirt, and Colanta, whose logo was on the right sleeve, right under the logo of the FCF (Colombian Football Federation). The logo of the LAF (Liga Antioqueña de Fútbol / Antioquia Football League) is on the left sleeve. Another sponsor was El Portal de las Flores, a restaurant in La Ceja, whose name appeared on the back of the shirts, in the upper side.
