MFA VI PRE Tournament Games
As we had more than 32 teams sign up for this years World Cup we have to have a qualifying round to determine who gets to play in the final tournament as Himeyama is hosting they have already automatically qualified as have 13 teams that have ranking points from previous World Cups, the full list of qualified teams is below. To fill out the remaining sixteen spots the remaining teams will play off for them in a home and away champions league style fixture. One difference of note the away goal rule does NOT apply, if you are tied on aggregate after the second leg you play extra time and then if required penalties. Note I have had to throw in some historicals to make up numbers (something I was hoping to avoid but have not been able to) The first legs will take place on Saturday with the second legs on Tuesday. For those teams already qualified there will be friendly matches on those dates the fixtures for which will be randomly generated, this will be followed by a final round of friendlies which will occur after the group stage draw is made.
