The Glorious Republic of Leicestershire - National Team

Bit of silliness in the spirit of international football season.

The County of Leicestershire has declared it's independence from the United Kingdom and annexed the City of Leicester as it's capital, founding the Republic of Leicestershire.

 

Naturally, as a major sporting centre of the British Isles, setting up a new national football team is top priority and you've just been hired as it's first ever manager. You're tasked with building a 25 man squad to qualify for the upcoming EURO 2024 tournament.

 

Qualification rules are fairly standard. Players born in Leicester/shire qualify automatically (eg Luke Thomas) as do those whose parents or grandparents were born here (eg Harvey Barnes, Jaden Heskey), you can also select "naturalised" Leicestershire citizens who were raised/educated here for a period of five years or more before the age of 21 (eg Richard Stearman, Ben Chilwell, etc.) FIFA is offering the opportunity for any currently capped players who meet the above criteria to change allegiance.

 

Finally, as per FIFA eligibility criteria, anyone who has lived in Leicester for over 5 years after the age of 18 but who is not currently internationally capped can qualify (eg Marc Albrighton.)

 

So, who is in your 25? Who is your starting 11? Who is the captain of the national side and, finally, do you think you're good enough to qualify?

Been calling for Leics-xit for years.

 

Time we gained control back of our county, man the borders, bring in import tarrifs for goods brought in from other counties, ban travel between Nottinghamshire. Those pesky Rutlanders, coming over here stealing out jobs…
 

Or have I missed something…

Need to keep it within the country so Fox Leisure or Admiral are the only choices.

Gola was founded in Leicestershire too

Not sure if they still do but MDH in Harborough were also doing a few kits for clubs in the Scottish leagues quite recently too.

Excellent post.

 

So the cream of Leicestershire are a top 10 league 1 team I reckon, Midfield strong, Attack good for that level, but GK and defence extremely ropey.

Harvey Barnes, technically born outside Leicester but definitely qualifies to represent Leicestershire.
