It's time for the World Cup once again! This time, it's the 1586 edition taking place in several of the Mandavine Islands, specifically Magentina, Lusby & Corwyn, Puerto Seguro, and Skoven. This tournament is special for the island nations that for the most part are relegated to the basement of the football world. For a little over a month, these nations will be center stage as the rest of the world travels to the beautiful vistas of the Mandavines to play the beautiful game on the worlds stage.
While there are four hosts, only two places for hosts were permitted, so a special play-in took place prior to the qualification events. In that play-in, Magentina and Lusby & Corwyn won the rights to play in the world cup as hosts, though matches will still take place in Puerto Seguro and Skoven.
An interesting feature of this world cup, besides the exotic locale, are the advent of expanded stadiums. While traditional hosts usually have permanent fixtures built for the World Cup, the Mandavine tournament organizers recognized that much of the stadium capacity used during the World Cup would be mostly useless after the event finished. To combat this waste of resources, stadiums were kept smaller than usual for a world cup for a more intimate experience. For the later stages, certain stadiums have special expanded capacities to ensure they are able to meet the demand for the final matches. Also of note are the various means for travel between the islands. Ferries and planes are being used to get from one island to the next, though planes are the method of choice for all athletes and teams.
