MFA World Cup 2015

The 2015 MFA World Cup will be the first installment of the Micronational Football Association (MFA)'s world cup, and will be hosted in London, England and will be organised by the MFA between July and August 2015. The tournement is to be the first all micronation tournament ever. Between four and six teams will compete in the tournament, and will be played in three to four different venues across London. It is not determined yet as to whether the matches will be played in either 6-a-side or 11-a-side formats, this will be determined by the ability of the competing teams to organise the teams, this will also effect the number of referees required at matches.

Host Selection
In 2008, shortly after founding the MFA, then President Joe Foxon announced a World Cup for 2013. Initially, Stigistan and Rukora bidded, and in 2009, Wyke (the successor nation of Stigistan) and Rukora were elected to co-host the World Cup. However, in early 2011 Wyke pulled out of hosting after dissolving, and during the summer of the same year, Rukora were expelled from the MFA, relinquishing their hosting rights. In late 2011, new MFA President Barnaby Hands announced the re-opening of bidding, with Senya and the Dale Republic both eventually bidding. On March 5, 2012, through a Facebook poll in MicroGroup, Senya won the rights to host the World Cup, receiveing 5 of the 8 votes. However, Senya cancelled the tournament after they were unable to finance it. It was later agreed between MFA President, Barnaby Hands and voluntary organiser, Danny Clarke to move the tournament to a more suitable, non-micronationalist host, later decided to be London, England instead of Norfolk, England.
