The 2021 FANA World Cup will be the seventh FANA World Cup, the annual international men's football championship contested by the national football teams of the member associations of FANA.
Host selection
Contrary to previous years, FANA decided to select the host among the qualified nations from the regional qualification rounds, which concluded in April. The host was selected among the interested nations that qualified to the World Cup.
The bidding for the 2020 FANA World Cup started in March 2021 with the national associations having until 18 April 2021 to register their interest in hosting the event. A total of three biddings were submitted to FANA for the hosting of the event.
The members of FANA started voting on the hosts of the event on 13 June 2021. The results were unveiled on 23 June 2021, with the Namisentrian bid securing the hosting rights for the event, while the Ximbalan/Ulikanan bid came in second.
The voting results were:
Bidders | Result | |
---|---|---|
Votes | % | |
Namisentria | 27 | 77.14% |
Ximbala / Ulikana | 5 | 14.29% |
Jarea | 3 | 8.57% |
Qualification
The allocation of slots for each confederation was discussed by the FANA Executive Committee in September 2020 after the FANA Congress. The committee decided that the allocation used in 2020 would be slightly modified for this year's tournament. The slot allocation was the following:
- UWFA (South and Central Wulfor): 9.5
- FCS (South and Central Sakoda): 8.5
- NFC (North Sakoda and Wulfor): 8.5
- KFASS (North Serica): 6
- COSSAF (South Serica): 6
- CLF (Latinica): 6
- LTFC (Lakadasia and Tritonia): 3.5
Teams
For the first time in the history of the FANA World Cup, all eligible nations—the 114 FANA member associations applied to enter the qualifying process. Wiltence was later disqualified during the qualification tournament. Places in the tournament were allocated to continental confederations. Several confederations saw either a reduction or increase in their number of allocated places in the tournament. The first qualification game, between Aquia and Angostura, began in Rio de Fevereiro on 30 November 2020 as part of the CLF's qualification,
Of the 48 nations qualified to play at the 2021 FIFA World Cup, 40 countries competed at the previous tournament in 2020. Achróa, Taslana and Foxtavia all qualified for the first time. Other teams returning after absences of at least three tournaments included: Angostura, who last competed in 1998; and Katsyria, competing for the second time after reaching the Round of 16 in 2017.
Venues
The event will be hosted in 16 venues across 15 different cities of the two hosting nations. Each country has selected 8 stadiums for the event. All the hosting countries selected their capital cities as one of their cities of choice (Chikara City for Namimori and Marianne for Qasentria).
