How the Quidditch Premier League was formed

Good morning my dear virtual friends.

I hope you will enjoy this beautiful day.Stay happy and healthy!

So lets start writing.....

The Harry Potter fantasy book and film franchise has made the world of sports richer for a new industry - the hitherto fictional sport of quidditch.

On a high-flying start "the British newspaper The Guardian addressed an article about the establishment of the Quidditch Premier League or QPL (Premier League or EPL is, among other things, the first English football league). Already in the opening season, 20,000 players have signed up for teams such as the London Monarchs and the Yorkshire Roses. If rugby and football don’t turn out to be magical enough, then the right answer will be to establish a Quidditch Premier League.

While in JK Rowling’s books, athletes on brooms shine through the clouds, however, QPL competitors are much more down to earth. 25 players in each team compete on their feet, but they still have brooms between their legs. The QPL initially represented the cream of the British Isles, with each of the eight founding teams expected to represent one of the regions. The league has expanded to European countries such as France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. As a curiosity: the Amsterdam team is called Pride, and the Brussels team is called Atoms.

Following the example of the International Football Association, Quidditch also has the International Quidditch Association, based in New York, which was founded in 2010 on the model of a student quidditch competition. But it was only with the establishment of the QPL that the sport, which is hard to imagine without magic and witchcraft, gained the status of a “serious” competition with the league leadership. They emphasize the sporting and team spirit (i.e. not just Sunday enthusiast games and matches on student campuses). What makes quidditch something special in a global sports context, however, are mixed teams. In it you can find both female and male actors.

Although there is no shortage of players at all levels and fans, quidditch faces the challenges of any unconventional sport (in the UK, for example, it means anything other than football or rugby): a lack of funding and sponsors, and last but not least, the title of “exotic ”And for some a bizarre sport.
