AOCAF Cup 29 - Starblaydia
The world's premier, longest-running, regional football (soccer) tournament returns for its 29th edition, with the football teams of the Atlantian Oceania region coming to Starblaydia for the third time in its history - now that the Di Bradini Cup has been gotten out of the way, bit confusing if both were running at the same time. Pacitalia, victors three times in the last four editions of the AOCAF Cup, will attempt to become the first team since NEWI Cefn Druids to successfully defend their trophy for a second time, while many nations famous on the world stage - including former World Champions Valanora and Cup of Harmony Champions Milchama. Starblaydia, Sarzonia and Sorthern Northland are among the nations hoping to get back to the top spot, while a host of new and returning nations come to Starblaydia seeking a slice of glory.
Twenty-six nations have been included, necessitating an unorthodox Group Format. There will be four groups of four teams and two groups of five teams. The top two from Groups A-D, as well as their 2 best third-place finishers, will join with the top three teams of Groups E & F in the sixteen-team second round. Sounds complicated, and sort-of is, but all will become clear after five Matchdays (Thanks to 2 groups of 5, bah) of Group Stage goodness! Now is the time for Rosters and RPs and such, too.
