Here are the participating teams:
They have been sorted into eight groups of six teams, from which the best two will advance. These groups are:
With that, please take time to post your rosters and roleplays. Please take the time to skim this if you're new or haven't already.
The Roster is essential to roleplaying. Maybe your right midfielder is fighting your goalie. Maybe your star striker has gone berserk and scored seven goals in three games. Perhaps your center back tripped over his own shoelace and is now nationally ridiculed. Who are these folks? That's what the roster is for. It's also so your opponents can RP your star striker, fighting midfielder and goalie, and hapless center back as much as they (and you, let's touch on that later) want.
Mix in some RP Permissions with those roster. RP Permissions tell your opponent what they can or can't do.

And here are your stadia.
Carlos Jimenez Memorial Pitch, Rogers, Super-Llamaland: A beautiful domed field in the metropolis of Rogers, "Jimenez Pitch", as it's usually shortened to, holds 36,700 per field along with the successful FC Rogers team. They'll host Group A and H, as it is a multiple-field stadium.
Wheathampton Coliseum, Wheathampton, Super-Llamaland: Capacity 23,000, the shiny new fifty-million-dollar stadium holds FC Wheathampton, home to a rabid fanbase, and is based in the beautiful suburbs of Wheathampton, dubbed "FCVille". They'll host Group B.
OuranosTech Football Field, Emerald Springs, Super-Llamaland: Capacity 20,000. A corporate-sponsored, high-tech stadium known for its amazing scoreboards, unique setup, and fireworks. Home to FC Emerald Soccer. They'll host Group C and two Ro16 games.
The G, Keep City: Capacity 27,900. A historic field built in 1977, "The G", short for "Glacier" due to the frigid springs of Keep City, is actually named "Michael J. Winston Memorial Field for Multi-Sport Playing", which is why it became called the G in the first place. It'll host Group D, two Ro16 games, two quarterfinal games, and the finals.
Haven Field, Dinschria: Capacity 23,000. The home of the FC Dinschria team, Haven Field is a beautiful pitch in downtown Dinschria, "The Coldest City in Llamaland". Temperatures can reach below freezing in April, so footballers/soccer players should dress wisely. This will host Group E, two Ro16 games, two quarterfinal games, the semifinals, and the third-place match.
The Valley Stadium, Vargas: Capacity 29,000. At sharp contrast to cold, windy Haven Field, Vargas, located by far the most southerly of all the fields, Vargas can reach up to sixty-five degrees. A beautiful pitch and home to SC Vargas, The Valley Stadium, which actually isn't in a valley but is referred to that due to field anomalies corrected in 1996 after it was built in 1989, is a picturesque spot next to the Ackley River. It'll be host to Group F and a pair of Ro16 games.
North Province Pitch, West Denizen: Capacity 21,300. A bleak stadium barely warmer than Haven Field. This will host Group G.
Now, let's begin! The International Firestorm Cup is on!
