OSFI World Cup

The OSFI World Cup, often called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the members of the Organisation Sportive du Football International (OSFI), the sport's global governing body. The tournament has been held every six years since the inaugural tournament in 1924, except in 1936 because of the Great War.

from 1932 to 1944
Between 1924 and 1942, there was no qualification phase for the main event. The teams were invited by the OSFI directly, leading in particular to an overrepresentation of the West Artopan national teams in the competition, almost abandoning the ones from other continents.

The format of the main event is a simple knockout system. The teams are drawn on after an other to know their spot in the tournament's table, then start the round of 16, then the round of 8, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and ultimately the final. There is also, since the introduction of the OSFI World Cup, a match to determine the third place of the tournament.
