Hi friends,

season 49 starts next Monday and we will attempt to merge several poorly populated national leagues back to continental leagues. Here is the list of leagues that will be merged:

• Colombia, Peru and Venezuela will be merged with South America
• Iran will be merged with Asia
• Greece will be merged with Europe

These changes will not affect the national teams. So you don't have to worry that these national teams will be cancelled as well. Due to the fact that the South American continent will be down to just 3 national leagues, we have also decided that starting from season 50, we will merge the South American division of the Champions' League and Cup Winners' Cup with the Rest of the World division. Next season will be the last one with the South American division.

There will also be regular league regrouping in the following countries in order to remove inactive teams from the bottom two tiers:

Brazil, Netherlands, Russia

If you sign a sponsorship contract with bonuses and you happen to be moved to a different league during league regrouping, please don't be alarmed. You will have the option to renegotiate your contract during the first 2 days of the new season so that you can make the right choice. Check your new opponents before you make a decision.

Good luck in the new season!
