Six years of eager anticipation and an almost mind boggling amount of preparation has taken place since the announcement declaring the UCNA the host of the 2018 International World Cup. An incredible amount work as taken place in that time span, constructing new infrastructure and modifying the existing pieces to ensure that the games and America's newest international guests will be accommodated and teams able to do their crafts to play the "world's game". Twelve teams qualified for the competition due to take place across fourteen of the geographically and culturally diverse metropolises for the next few weeks, reaching from the northern prairies of Edmonton Alberta to the southern sub-tropical shores of Miami Florida, and from the Pacific city of San Francisco across to New York City on the Atlantic.With so many cities stretching across the expanse of a continent and with one of the largest populations of people this tournament will be the largest of its set to be the largest of its kind yet.
While the games are admirable for their scope what these games will surely be remembered for are the teams attending, emerging from all manner of nation, race, creed, and ideology. Though the international spectators and their teams were advised to leave their beliefs and rivalries behind for the sake of the game there is little doubt that the performances or motivations of many of these teams will be fueled on such. The current global climate over the past year created by these nations in question has proven to be particularly volatile, however there remains a hope that such conflicts and issues are left back in their home countries with the primary focus centering around the game and the talents of the players in question.
