View source for Football in Goytakanya

{{incomplete list}}
Football is the most popular sport in [[Goytakanya]]. Is played in the island since 1956, when workers from [[Cariocas]] went to Bhagurah working in ferryboats. 

==National League==
[[File:GL0.png|350px|thumb|right|Teams in Goytakano league]]There is a semi-profissional national league in the country since 1985, counting with 12 teams from all districts of the island, except Ylera and Vranysha. There is not a second level or regional leagues, and relegations or promotions.
''There is a football pitch in Vranysha and a club named "Valensya" in the island, but there are not players enough to be used in the team. In Ylera, there is not even a football pitch.''

Each of the 12 teams in the league hosts every other team once in the regular season, for a total of 22 matches between June and December. Teams are ranked by total points, then by total wins and finally by goal difference, number of scored goals, number of away goals and number of away wins. If teams are still in the same level, a extra match is played in two legs to determine the final order in the standings.

Due the economical situation and the semi-profissionalism at the sport, is not unusual players having other jobs in days without matches. Even this way, there are some foreigner players in the league, helping the development of the sport in the island. Is OK if a team get some sponsors.

There is a big rivalry between teams from capital district/ west Goytakanya and Grakteh district/ east Goytakanya, but the strongest ones are between teams from the same cities (Rapyd and Maxyma, from capital Bhagurah, and Lybera and Ygnea, from Grakteh).

===Ranking of Champions===
From the 12 teams, only 4 never won the league.
'''Rapyd Bhagurah''' is the top winner, with 11 titles

A curious fact: '''Lybera Grakteh''', considered one of the main clubs of the league, never got a national title. In 30 seasons, was the 2nd place 12 times.

===Clubs in continental tournaments===
Since 1990, the national champions is qualified to Uletha Champions League, and the second place, to Uletha Clubs Cup, both in the preliminar rounds. Usually they are eliminated in the first round, but there are exceptions. 

'''Uletha Champions League'''

In 1998, Ygnea Grakteh was the first goytakano club passing the first round, eliminating (''some club from ???''), but being eliminated by (''some club from Lallemand'') in next stage. The best result was in 2009 and 2013, when, respectively Grymyo Karamau and Rapyd Bhagurah reached the groups rounds, after passed three preliminar rounds, but losing all the matches in groups stage.

'''Uletha Clubs Cup'''

In 2001, Turbyna Berysha reached the second preliminar round, after won (''some club from ??''). Ten years later, Rapyd Bhagurah got the best result of a goytakano club in international tournaments, finishing in 5th place, after won better clubs as Puerto Geo United, from {{Gobrassanya}} and even FC Gragoatá, from {{Cariocas}}, being defeated by (''some club from ??''), wich came to be the champion of the tournament that season.

==Notable Players==
In the history, '''Radmar Em Zamalesk''' was the first scorer in the OGFIFA-era and the top-scorer of all the times. Retired in 2008, he got 13 goals, but '''Endryt Ek Kovalesko''', the 22 years old midfielder from Turbyna Berysha, is only 4 goals to this mark, and still playing.

'''Ylyon Eb Varozmyr''' and '''Jetmyr Ek Dybra''' was the firsts goytakano players to play in foreigner leagues. In 1998, Varozmyr played in '''Real Total''' and Dybra, in '''Deportivo Ipanema''', both from the 3rd national level from [[Football in Cariocas|Cariocas]]. '''Klazer Ek Zeseveko''' was the first one playing in a top level foreigner league, in 2008, by '''Ultramar''', from Piratiba, in Cariocas. 

'''Baron Vaea''', the gobrassi player Golden Ball Prize winner in 2002, is the most famous who ever played in Goytakano league, in 2009, by Grymyo Karamau. But is still mentioned the players from [[Cariocas]] '''Catarino Luzio''', first top scorer of the league, in 1985, by Rapyd Bhagurah, '''Tonio Cefete''', the bigger top scorer of the league, with 23 goals in 2007 season by Ygnea Grakteh, and '''Kevin Quissama''', who played his entire carreer in goytakano clubs.

But the most notable player is '''Ras Em Vallarka''', coincidentally , the king's nephew. Retired in 2014, he played and won titles in some of the main football leagues of the world, as [[Brasonia]] and [[Karolia]].

==National Team==
[[File:Infobox_football_goyta.png|right]]Despite the league was founded officially in 1985, '''The Real Phederasyon Goytakano Phutbol''' ''(Real Goytakano Football Federation)'' got affiliation to WAFO only in 2000.

The first official match was played in 26 April 2000, at Stadyum Nasyonal in Bhagurah. [[Goytakanya]] lose to [[Cariocas]] by 5x1, and '''Radmar Em Zamalesk''' scored the first goal in the official history.

The first victory was in 01 May 2002, when Goytakanya won Lallemand by 2x1 in Avewood.

Before OGFIFA affiliation, Goytakanya played only 5 matches, being 3 matches with cariocas clubs and 2 against workers companies teams.

Goytakanya rarely plays against countries from so far. In these 42 matches, 10 was against {{Cariocas}}, counting 4 matches against clubs. Its because Goyatakanya got a agreement with Cariocas about economical and sportive development. 

Still about this agreement, Goytakanya played 14 times in Bhagurah, but 13 times it was in Cariocas cities or towns, even against rivals far from Cariocas. In these cases, the trip costs are paid by Cariocas football federation, helping the sportive development of the country.

From the begining of the agreement, some cariocas coaches joined the Goytakano Federation and football teams too. Currently, since 2013, the coach is the carioca ex-midfielder '''Tonio Motinha'''. 

Even with so much help, Goytakanya is far from the best national teams level.

In all the history of the national team:

* From April 2000 to August 2015, Goytakanya played 42 matches. 
* Goytakanya won 8, drawn 8 and lose 27 matches. 
* There was 64 goals for and 126 goals against.
* Its better result was a victory by 4x0 in Ōbaku, Gobrassanya, against the districtal team of Lonowai Islands in 09 October 2013.
* Its worse result in all its history was 1x7 to Brasonia in 26 April 2012.
* The currently top-scorer is Radmar Em Zamalesk (2000-2008), counting 13 goals.
* Goytakanya played only 2 tournaments in all its official history till today. Both was ''Uletha Cup'', in 2008 and 2010 editions.

The first home kit was all black, symbolizing the silent war against Suvuma, and the away kit was all green, symbolizing hope, but in 2001 the national federation decided about a no-political use of the sport and changed the kits.

In the federation headquarter, there is a room, open to visitors, with shirts and tickets of all the matches the national team played, even in the pre-OGFIFA era.
