The '''IFP World Cup of 2448''' was the inaugural IFP World Cup, the world championship for open league national [[football]] teams. It took place in [[Ahitereira]]. 31 national teams took part.

The [[Ahitereiran Phutebola Committee]], or APC, would be promptly formed, a temporary organization to oversee the whole event and selecting the Ahitereiran team, but as the World Cup see itself immensely successful, with many fans all over Oikia coming to see the game and tickets being all sold out, the APC would see itself dividing in two separate organizations, the International Phutebola Committee and the [[Ahitereira national football team|Ahitereiran Phutebola Association]]. The International Football Committee would then begin working on selecting the new world cup host and a new format for the Cup itself, eventually on 2449, it would come to a vote and the Runner-Up, [[Ginsukyo]] would host the next cup.

 

The 2448 World Cup was the only world cup without a group stage, and one of two world cups without a qualification round, instead opting for a randomly chosen bracket of invited countries. Originally the cup was supposed to have 32 participating countries, but due to a logistical complication the Malayah team couldn't attend. The invited teams were simply an extension of what the APC had considered the best teams in the world, this led to some controversies, as many saw the nations participating as sub-par. Due to Malayah's absence, the hosting country was decided to move forward one bracket automatically, leading to more controversies, as many argued it should've been a random choice.

The first game, Mem - Peryzium, saw the first goal in the world cup, and the first clean sheet by the Mem goal-keep. While Peryzium seemed more equipped, with a team of elite players used to some of the highest level of play in the East Alaxian Leagues, when faced with Mem's unorthodox strategies, saw themselves get 2 goals in the first 20 minutes. Such goals would allow Mem to play their main strategy, the great wall. Swapping their strikers with defenses, Mem's strange technique would see itself play in its favour, as most Peryziumites didn't know how to pass through it, being almost barraged with players as soon as they got the ball. Mem as such would be the first team to have both a clean sheet and score a goal in the World Cup.
