The Football Association of the Commonwealth of Baker Park, is happy to announce the opening of entries for the 14th Under 18 World Cup, presented for the third consecutive edition by title sponsor RTC of Banija.
The FAC assumed the role of unofficial caretakers of the tournament following the hosting of SWC 11, which was followed by the subsequent collapse of Sporting World Magazine; it continues to be our privilege that regions and nations have remained confident to trust us with the organization of the event that we have won twice, only the second nation to do so.
We welcome all nations of the multiverse to express their intent of sending a team made up of players who will not reach their 19th birthday until the conclusion of the tournament. All-male, all-female, mixed gender, single or mixed sentient beings/species—makes no difference to us. Just reply to this post and say "we're in!" (or something else approximating that sentiment)
The U18WC, like its cousin the Di Bradini Cup/Under 21 World Championship, is an excellent introduction into the NS football/futbol/soccer amalgamation of events. Many nations have used the tournament(s) as a springboard to greater achievements regardless of whether they claimed the trophy or not, while a few have famously won the trophy on their debut to multiverse play (Baker Park included, as well the winner of our hosting turn, Vdara).
Also, this is the appropriate forum for expressing interest in submitting a bid to host the competition in your nation; under FAC control of the preliminary phase, the previous host has the right to accept any bid it wishes, and can also ask for the advice of other previous hosts. There is no public vote--the choice of the previous host is final.
Currently, the timeframe for the start of the event will be contingent upon the schedule of the various regional tournaments; i.e., it will not happen until close to the conclusion of those, as the U18/U21 is traditionally regarded as the beginning of a World Cup Cycle.
All questions should also be directed to Baker Park in this thread, which will revert to being the OOC discussion thread once a host is chosen. (Or to BP via TG or Discord if you wish.) Previous hosts of this tournament are also free to answer general questions.
