Hi, I am the owner of IFF (the largest bonk.io football community) and also the owner of Europa United F.C. (the oldest and greatest clan in the game).
Many may know me as Empi/Empirezzly or Empirezz. I have been playing this game since 2016 (i believe september) where I made a small club called Balkan FC. From there I've met many people's and together with some friends we changed our club name to Europa United F.C. which later became the strongest club in the game, during 2017, 2019 and 2020 (other clans dominated 2018 era).
Europa may be the most hated community because of the hackers club also known as Defenders, which spread massive propaganda against Europa, making some of it's players retire, even taking many of them.
Many of the Europa players which some may not know, were Luka (co-founder), ChrisPapGr (co-founder and elite gk), Bartek (transfer to Rebels [NA team]), MicroHype (left to join Defenders), Coldrex (betrayed the team, became Defenders leader after they started dying) , Sm4ck (joined defenders), Consume Die (left as Europa Captain to become Defenders Captain). There are many more and Europa had over 300 different players through 4 years, Europa also had the best academy and training system, producing many more players (which were noticed as talented from the beginning).
Then comes the IFF, the newly formed football community in June 2018 (became official in july, same year). The community immediately drafted a ban on many hackers in the game, which used macro, known as Trocir, Kerolos Magdy, Coldrex & basically most of Defenders players. At first none of the defenders admited they used hacks, but later on many of them accepted that they may have been using macro and several other hacks such as room crashing and account stealing. This is a reason why IFF was actually raided 3 times in a single month in 2018, well...our staff decided to get this seriousisly and we installed heavy security in our server (with over 20+ log channels and security bots, we basically were aware of every alt joining our server). After that month we had over 200+ raid attemps in a period of 7 months, and we have informed the Discord Team for many different raiders such as Ian, Trocir, Deus & their communities.
So yes, IFF has been working for 2 years in row to help Bonk.io become a better place, we have in total organised 2 World Cups, Greece winning the first and USA the second.
We also had 5 seasons in IFF, where teams as Rebels, Roses FC and United FC gained fame.
But later on after many emails and messages sent to BCD and Chaz, they ignored our suggestion to let football be added in bonk2.io, this is why IFF and Europa & many clans disbanded, leaving the game. And basically after that the football community died.
We feel sad that the game we spent over 4 years ignored us. :/
