International Federation of Association Football (IFAF) World Cup 2015
With opening ceremonies set to begin soon in Baile Dúin, the atmosphere in the United Republic of America is electric as the nation prepares to host the premier event in the world of association football. Teams from around the world lucky enough to have made it through qualifiers for the World Cup are already training on practice pitches arranged for the Cup and are proud to represent their respective countries in "Good Ol' Meiriceá". The opening ceremonies will be held in Ballyston Harbor and at Shannon Park Stadium and are expected to celebrate the history and unity of association football as well as uniquely American history and traditions, with performances by major artists and former football stars, fireworks, the appearance of the world's oldest ship afloat in service, the A.R.S. Constitution in Baile Dúin Harbor, and an acrobatic fly-by by the Continental Navy's F/A-18 Super Peregrines. A dazzling celebration to start off the athletic event of the end of the summer.
| Stadium | Name/City | Capacity | |
 | Shannon Park, Ballyston | Located between the Kenmore (Cheannmhor) and Shannon Hills (Cnoic na Sionainne) neighborhoods in Ballyston overlooking Leverett Pond, up the Back Bay Fens from the famed Fenway Park baseball stadium (which will serve as a practice pitch during the cup), Shannon Park Stadium is a new IFAF Class IV venue less than a decade old. Located in the region of wooded parkland and attractive early-19th century townhomes of Ballyston known as the "Emerald Necklace", the stadium is host to the League of America side Baile Dúin Celtic FC and its affiliate in the National Gaelic Football League, Shamrock Rovers FC. The stadium is utilized not just for association football, but Gaelic Football, North American football, hurling and rugby football and has the distinction of being the home field for the American national teams in those sports, though it shares the distinction of home field for the American national association football team with Union Stadium/Eagles Field in Philadelphia. Nearby Shannon Hills, Moylan Square and Kenmore neighborhoods are known as the "Brewery District" for the large number of storied pubs, breweries and distilleries in the area where both traditional and experimentals brews can be enjoyed. In particular, the Ballyston ale, a strong red ale, is the most famous and commonplace in the district. | 65,000 |
 | Revolution Square, Conwy | Home stadium of association football club New Ireland Revolution F.C. and North American football affiliate, New Ireland Patriots F.C., the new stadium was intended to be constructed in the Metro West region in Lexington or Concord, though concerns from the state and communities about unintentional damage to historic artifacts and sites during construction canceled the land purchase. Instead, the stadium was built to the southwest of Ballyston in the village of Conwy near the central square dedicated to local heroes of the American Revolution. Following construction, Revolution Square is a world-class venue both nationally and for regional sports events and is easily accessible via an alternate route from the MBTA Red Line diverting just before Quincy station on event days. | 50,000 |
 | Yankee Stadium, Nua Eabhrac | An improved renovation of the storied, world-famous baseball and association football arena dating to 1923 in the Borough of Knackearne (Na Cairn, commonly known as "The Knack") in Nua Eabhrac City, boasting 500,000 square feet extra space over the old stadium. The venue is famously named for its star home team, the Nua Eabhrac Yankees, who compete in a combined professional league which includes both American and Californian teams, though the field is easily adjusted for association football and is used as the primary home of affiliate New Amsterdam F.C. The term "Yankee" given to the stadium and the team is a traditional and popular denonym for citizens of the American Republic either to differentiate from other countries on the American continent or more recently as a self-identification of the northeast coast. Originating from the Valendian Dutch slang for American Gaels "Jan Kees" (John Cheese) after the cattle-herders they encountered in the area of their New Amsterdam colony. "Yankee" was subsequently adopted by the British as a pejorative term to ridicule Americans which was subsequently adopted and repurposed by the Americans as a sign of defiance and pride, growing in popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries especially in international sports. The Number 4 train on the Nua Eabhrac City subway connects Yankee Stadium with Midtown Inisfáil and Breuklen. | 49,000 |
 | Union Stadium/Eagles Field, Philadelphia | In the City of Brotherly Love, this modern sports complex in South Philadelphia is known as the most advanced and environmentally-conscious sports arena in North America to date, powered by 11,000 solar panels and 14 wind turbines on and adjacent to the complex. The stadium itself goes by two names, Union Stadium for association football events, named after hometown team Philadelphia Union F.C., and Eagles Field for rugby football, Gaelic and North American football games in honor of the Philadelphia Eagles. The stadium itself is easily-accessible for the World Cup, boasting a dedicated subway station on the Broad Street Line and an express train from Carraig Fern rail station and terminus in North Philadelphia for the duration of the Cup. | 69,000 |
 | Fianna Field, Checagou | A historic and vital stadium on the shores of Lake Michigan in Checagou, Fianna Field/Soldier Field was originally constructed at the turn of the 20th century and dedicated to the fallen of the last great Anglo-American War, the Détente War, fresh in the American memory at the time. In the years since another monument was added to the soldiers of the Great War and the stadium has been constantly expanded and renovated, most recently in the last decade. Known equally as Fianna Field and Soldier Field, the former largely due to the Gaelic poetic word for "soldier" as "Fianna". The stadium has always featured Greco-Roman architecture including iconic doric columns rising above the entrance and traditionally hosts the inter-Service Gaelic, rugby and association football games between the various branches of the United Republic's armed forces. Surrounding the arena is Checagou's largest urban park and a beautiful marina and waterfront district. Fianna Field is accessible by monorail inside Checagou which will include an express line from O'Hare International Airport during the World Cup. | 61,500 |
 | Frontier State Field, Áthbreann | Affectionately known as "Cowboy Field" and the "Pride of the West" to sports fans all over the state of MacColla's Frontier, Frontier State Field is known as the home of Frontier State University football teams of all types and the current home of the Northmen F.C. rugby rules football and North American football team, a name paying homage to the strong Gandvian roots of much of the state's population during late 19th century and early 20th century immigration as well as its position as the northernmost state, and Gall-Ghaeil F.C., Áthbreann's National Gaelic football team. | 52,500 |
