Pythons, hailing from capital city Khaldoon lifted the title in the league’s inaugural year, nabbing the championship in the final week of play. With a point separating the top two teams, Skyte needed a win and for Pythons to drop points at struggling Barbossa. Skyte were held to a 2-2 draw at Royal Khaldoon and Pythons ran home 5-2 against Barbossa, topping the league by three points. Pythons own Ishmael Van Dyke won the golden boot, notching up an impressive 34 goals. Una Serie top scorers.

Season one of Una serie de fútbol heralded the arrival of Queer Poco's brightest young sporting talent, the 16 year old Hugo Anderson of Augustus. At just 16, he was voted QPMAFA young player of the season and made his debut in Queer Poco el Mono Ara's first ever international friendly against Dancougar.

Prior to season 2, invitations were sent to 6 different nations to compete in the first ever The Prince's Shield - a pre-season friendly tournament hosted by the Queer Poco el Mono Ara royal family.

[edit] Season 2

Pythons picked up the title for the second year running. 4th in mid-season, they romped to victory finishing 5 points ahead of the competition. Prior to year three their impressive striker force of Ishmael Van Dyke and Frederico would be added to with the acquisition of Enrico Dossena. The relegation battle went to the wire, with Jonastown United’s last day victory over Port Los Renato securing their place in the league. Barbossa were relegated following their second successive final day defeat at the hands of the champions. Van Dyke again finished top scorer with 32 goals.

Pythons maintained their winning ways and dominated the league, winning the title with an unprecedented 9 point lead. Skyte City were the shock team of the season, sliding into the bottom three teams having spent two seasons as also-rans behind Pythons. Again the relegation battle went to the wire with Valengren Kickers coming out on top with a 1-0 victory over Skyte, Port Los Renato's two year stay in Una Serie came to an end with a 2-2 draw with Royal Khaldoon.

[edit] Season Four

Season four heralded the breaking of the QP transfer record with Royal Khaldoon splashing $20million on Somewhereistonian Vytautas Tork. Big spending Royal breezed to the league title, leaving Pythons in their wake. Pythons season stuttered to an end and the fans were disappointed by the sale of star striker Ishmael Van Dyke before the season began. New boys Belle-Isle on Sea went straight back down having spent just one season in the Una Serie.

[edit] Season V

Mega rich Royal Khaldoon maintained their league title, romping to 88 points, 12 clear of nearest rivals Pythons. Jonastown United continued to build on their reputation of being the best team to be promoted to the Una Serie, coming within a point of third place. Down at the botton, relegation was again settled on the final day of the season like so many before and it was Valengren Kickers who bit the bullet and were sent to League I sparing Real Minanda. Following their relegation Valengren had a complete reshuffle and the team was sold. Royal also managed to break the Augustus stranglehold on the Trofeo Royal by acheiving the double and becoming the first team to do so after beating Ridgemont Town 3-1 in the final.
