The World Cup is an international tournament for National Teams. A new World Cup campaign is started nearly as soon as the old campaign is completed, which takes two seasons. The tournament is being held for the thirteenth time currently.
The final rounds of a World Cup campaign are hosted by one nation. This nation is determined by the Hattrick Team. The first World Cup ever was hosted by Nippon and Hanguk back in 2002, the same year these countries also hosted the real-life world cup. The same happened again in 2006, when Deutschland hosted the World Cup VIII, and in 2010, when South Africa hosted the World Cup XV.
Only three countries have hosted a World Cup twice so far: Deutschland (U-20 World Cup I and World Cup VIII), Israel (U-20 World Cup VIII and World Cup XVIII) and Suomi (U-20 World Cup XI and U-20 World Cup XVIII).
Only two countries have won the normal World Cup more than once: Sverige, Deutschland and Norge. Sverige also managed a title Hattrick twice, winning World Cups I to III and World Cups V to VII. At the time, Sverige had a significant advantage in quality of players due to the age of their league and the number of teams in it, but this advantage has eroded significantly in recent competitions.
The World Cup has visited 18 nations so far: one from Africa, five from Asia, two from North America, three from South America and seven from Europe. This means all continents except Oceania have hosted a World Cup.
Modus operandi
The qualification round starts with national teams from all countries that are a part of Hattrick at the start of the campaign.

| The world cup format
The World Cup begins every second season and starts with a qualification round. 32 teams advance from this round to the World Cup. There are three round-robin group stages, with 4 teams to a group and the top two teams qualifying for the next stage. The final two rounds are playoff matches, beginning with the semi-finals and culminating in the World Cup Final. [...] Seeding for World Cup Round I is based on ranking, which is determined by previous World Cup results. When no World Cup matches are scheduled, the national teams can play friendlies. | |
