Title: MFA World Cup 2019
Post by: Achkaerin on February 08, 2019, 11:42:56 PM
Back for a seventh tournament, the Men's World Cup. The pinnacle of football tournaments (or soccer if you're American) on Mundus.

as in the last tournament the World cup will consist of a group stage, with grouping being dependent on the number of declared nations competing after which there will be Quarter final, Semi Final and Final Stages (these are minimal rounds if we get 32 competing teams there will obviously be a knockout round and we if we get certain numbers of competing countries we may require some qualification rounds)

Boosts will happen for each round of the group stage as it was last time and each match day will be approx 3 days apart. For those people who are unfamiliar with the tournament boosts increase the chances of your team winning but do not guarantee victory.

Nations are invited to bid for the hosting rights I have included the minimum criteria . As in previous events there will be a bidding deadline this time of February 22nd with a view to starting soon after.


I will handle the scoring side of things, however I will ask someone else to do the scoring of the final should Achkaerin get that far (as I have done in other tournaments when this has happened).

An Invitation to Mundus


To the many football fans of Mundus,

The Tsardom of Krimeon welcomes you with open arms. With an exciting new season of football just around the corner, we felt it was time for Krimeon to step up and offer to have this event take place within our humble nation. We have put every conceivable measure in place to ensure that any teams wishing to participate will be able to travel in safety and comfort as they cross through Krimeon. We will cover every team's transportation, housing and training facility needs for the duration of the season should it take place within Krimeon and will ensure they have adequate levels of privacy and security afforded to them.

It is my sincerest hope to see you all in Krimeon for the upcoming Cup, and my sincerest thanks for taking the time to read this letter.

Tsar Viktor Gough-Petrov

Official Bid for the MFA World Cup 2019

List of Stadia

(https://imgur.com/eAxAqPK.png)

Luzhniki Grand Sports Arena
Capacity: 90,000
Location: Luzhniki embankment 24, Khamovniki District, Kislev
Used for: Opening fixture, 1 Semi Final, Final
General information: Luzhniki Grand Sports Arena is the national stadium of Krimeon and its largest. The name Luzhniki derives from the flood meadows in the bend of Krim River where the stadium was built, translating roughly as "The Meadows". In the past its field has been used as the home ground (at various times) for football games played by local teams CSKA Krimeon, Spartak Krimeon and Torpedo Krimeon, however, there are currently no clubs based at the stadium. The stadium is used from time to time for various other sporting events and for concerts. It is also used to host Krimeonite domestic cup finals. Luzhniki forms part of the Luzhniki Sports Complex and is surrounded by other sports facilities and parks. Its location right on the river Krim is pleasant on a summer’s day, but there is little around in terms of eating and drinking besides food stalls, which can therefore better be done in central Krimeon City. If you’re into a bit of culture though, the nearby Novodevichy Convent is well worth a visit, while the Krimeon State University building on the opposite side of the Krim river is one of Krimeon’s best-known landmarks.

Olimpiyskiy national sports complex
Capacity: 80,000
Location: Velyka Vasylkivska str. 55, Bolgasgrad
Used for: 1 Semi Final, 2 Quarter Finals, group fixtures
General information: This stadium is one of the premier sports venue in Erengrad and the second largest in Krimeon after Kislev's Luzhniki Stadium. The complex beside its stadium also features several other sports facilities and is designed to host future Olympic Games. The NSC Olimpiyskiy’s central location makes that there a many options to eat and drink in the vicinity of the stadium. There are various bars and cafés in the area just north of the stadium, and a few hundred metres further starts Khreschatyk Street, the main drag of Erengrad’s city centre , which is lined with shops, bars, and restaurants.

Krestovsky Stadium
Capacity: 77,000
Location: Futbol'naya Alleya 1, Krestovsky Island, Kislev
Used for: 1 Quarter Final, group fixtures
General information: Krestovsky Stadium serves as home for FC Zenit Krimeon City. The stadium has been designed by an Rokkenjiman architecture firm and resembles the form of a spaceship with the roof held up by four masts. Krestovsky Stadium is located on the tip of Krestovsky Island surrounded on three sides by the Krimeon Sea. On its eastern side lie various sports facilities, the pleasant Maritime Victory Park, including an amusement park, and further on residential areas. It is a pleasant area on a nice day, which is also popular with the locals. There are furthermore a reasonable of restaurants in the area, mostly on the southern shore. The nearby Karl-Friedrich Brewhouse has a large beer garden.

Donbass Arena
Capacity: 62,000
Location: Donetskt District, Bolgasgrad
Used for: 1 Quarter Final, knockout fixtures, group fixtures
General information: The soaring roof effect makes this Stadium resemble a flying saucer. The roof of the stadium slopes from north to south matching the landscape and contributing to the natural lighting and airing of the pitch. The external lighting makes the Stadium shine at night. A major design consideration was the ongoing protection of as much of the forest setting as possible. The Donbass Arena is conveniently located on the edge of Erengrad’s centre, with various bars and restaurants located nearby. The stadium is surrounded by several parks and is at close distance from the Kalmius reservoir, which makes the area particularly pleasant on a summer’s day.

Kazan Arena
Capacity: 55,000
Location: Prospekt Khusaina Yamasheva, 115 А, Kislev
Used for: Knockout fixtures, group fixtures
General information: Home to one of the largest outside screens in the world, the Kazan Arena is located in a regenerated area on the banks of the river Krim, which mainly consists of large apartment blocks. While there might be a local restaurant around, eating and drinking is better done in central Krimeon City. Alternatively, there is the Riviera complex, right after crossing Leninskaya Dam over the Krim river, which lies at 20 minutes walking from the Kazan Arena and consists of a water park, cinema, shops, and a number of places to eat and drink.

(https://imgur.com/niLyN0x.png)

Strelka Stadium
Capacity: 55,000
Location: Betankura st., 1A, Kislev
Used for: Knockout fixtures, group fixtures
General information: The Strelka stadium design follows the classic style and uses a palette of white, blue and azure that is associated with the nature of the Krimeon Sea region and the elements of water and wind. Strelka Stadium is picturesquely located on the banks of the river Krim just outside of Krimeon City’s centre. It is a fairly quiet area that mainly consists of residential buildings, but right next door there is a large shopping centre with various places to get something to eat. However, most will opt to eat and drink in Krimeon City’s pleasant city centre on the other bank of the river, either around the main pedestrian thoroughfare Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street, or closer to the river around Rozhdestvenskaya Street.

New Derusmia (https://independentorder.net/index.php?topic=1262.msg10947#msg10947)

As there are only two bids this is a straight up either or vote. Please indicate which of the two you wish to host the tournament, the vote shall last 72 hours (so around this time on Monday will be when it ends).

Additionally there are still four places available in the tournament for teams, I will at the end of the host vote fill any unfilled spots with historic nations to make up the numbers.
