The Starblaydi Football Association presents, for the landmark thirtieth time, the latest edition of its own Under-21 international tournament, now recognised as the direct successor to the old Under-21 World Cup.
This tournament is now named after Starblaydia's most-famous player, the first person to score for Starblaydia's own Under-21s, currently the fifth-highest goalscorer in Starblaydia's history, World Cup Winner, member of the World Cup Hall of Fame and one-time President of the World Cup Committee: Simeone Di Bradini. We present, for your participation: The 30th Di Bradini Cup, a.k.a. The 51st Under-21 World Cup!
40 nations have come to Starblaydia. The Final will be held at the massive 196,754-capacity Stadii Di Bradini and there's everything to play for as the future stars of tomorrow compete to be crowned the premier Under-21 team in the world: World Champions!
