The Wiki Cup
The Wiki Cup is Wikiland's premier international football competition, contested between its 166 international football teams, as well as the national teams of Keine Robben and New Columbia. After 48 fortunate sides qualify for the final tournament, they will battle it out in the group stage, followed by the knockout stage, culminating in the final match that will determine the champions of Wikiland.
Format
- The four lowest-ranking teams participate in a two-legged playoff. The two winners advance to the second stage.
- The remaining 165 teams are drawn into 33 groups of 5. Each team will play each other twice, for a total of eight games per team and 20 overall per group. Of these, four will be home games and four will be away games. The group winners automatically qualify for the Wiki Cup.
- The 33 group runners-up are drawn into fifteen playoff brackets (12 featuring two teams, 3 featuring three). The winners of each playoff final qualify for the Wiki Cup.
- Months before the final tournament, the 48 qualified teams are drawn into 12 groups of 4.
- The final tournament begins with the group stage. Each team will play each other once, for a total of 3 games per team and 6 per group. The twelve group winners, twelve group runners-up, and eight best third-placed teams advance to the knockout stage.
- The knockout stage will include the round of 32, round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, third place game, and final, the latter of which will determine the champions of Wikiland.
In all games, after the conclusion of the two groval anthems, You'll Never Walk Alone is played.
