There eSerieD, the vibrant Italian virtual football championship organized by the International League of Amateurs (FIGC-Lega Nazionale Dilettanti), is entering its decisive phase. After a busy regular season and playoff phase, the competition is down to 32 teams, each aiming to win the title of “Champion of Italy” in the ProClub 11v11 virtual football category developed by LND. The competition, which initially attracted 50 participants, has now identified eight groups ready to compete for final glory.
The qualified teams, that is, the top five in each group along with the seven teams that qualified from the playoffs, were divided into new groups. They were organized into four different selection groups, ensuring a balanced and competitive distribution. An additional criterion ensured that the first, second and third tier teams would belong to different regular season groups, adding even more excitement and unpredictability to the tournament.
The composition of the groups at the final stage is as follows:
Group A: Santa Maria Cilento, eMeta Catania C5, Desenzano, Leon
Group B: City of S. Agata, Mori Santo Stefano, Accademia L’Aquila Calcio, Livorno
Group C: Savoia, Superb, Audace Decollatura, Theta Chieri
