'''CAFA LigAnaia I''' was the inaugural edition of [[Anaia]]'s premier club [[wiki:Association football|football]] tournament organised by [[CAFA]]. Forty-six teams from twenty-three nations competed. The [[CAFA LigAnaia I final|final]] was played at two venues, due to the format of the competition; the first one at [[Park der Fründens]], in [[Cersehorst, Saltstead|Cersehorst]], [[Saltstead]], and the second at [[Tlanx-Nulzk Hal Elementary School]] in [[Space Laser Dinosaur Robot Pirate Land]]. Ultimately, [[AC Mariina]] of [[Mriin]] were crowned champions, after a 1&ndash;0 win over [[Saltstead]]'s [[Royal Michaeltown]].

==Association team allocation==
All CAFA member associations were eligible to enter '''two''' teams; with the LigAnaia guidelines suggesting the national champions &ndash; however that is determined &ndash; along with either the "runners up" (assuming the champions are decided via a league or playoff) or a cup winner be designated as an association's two entrant clubs. LigAnaia organisers noted that they would be flexible in this regard, however, and would permit any two entrants deemed to be of "sufficient sporting merit", as long as one could reasonably be considered the association's champion.

===Association ranking===
As this was the inaugural edition, associations were ranked based on a combination of [[IFCF]] coëfficient and an aggregated value from a number of LigAnaia scouts, in attempt to assess league quality without completely handicapping leagues which did not submit entrants to IFCF competition.<ref>OOC: The formula was actually ''SQRT(1+IFCF Coefficient)+RP bonus factor'' &ndash; the RP bonus factor calculation was structured so that an association earning maximum bonus (ICly: whose teams were assessed as "very strong") but lacking an IFCF coëfficient would ultimately be ranked middle of the pack overall.</ref>
