Anarchist World Cup/2022

<< Return to Anarchist World Cup

Let's say that collective liberation was finally achieved in 2022, just days before the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The field of 32 national teams has been replaced with a field of 64 clubs. Of those, 32 are automatic qualifiers, being the champions of their respective nations. The 32 others have been given at-large berths thanks to their outstanding performances. This qualification process is a lot like the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. 37 countries are being represented: 32 from the original tournament and 5 (Angola, Egypt, Italy, New Zealand, and Scotland) thanks to at-large bids.
