For 3 md. sidenHello everyone,
Registration for the 61st edition of the VFIFA World Cup is now open.
Registration closes on Sunday 21 June at 11.59 pm.
The organisers of this edition are:
Marcus: LR ¤ Liverpool FC ¤
El Pigeon: Le Pigeon Voyageur [LMG]
To register, please state the nationality you are representing and include the phrase “rules read and approved” along with a link to your club.
Here are the rules:
I. The overall aim is to take part, have fun… and get to know all the nations represented. To this end, please feel free to role-play, comment on your matches or keep a diary to liven up the forum and bring the “World Cup” community together. A Discord server specifically for the competition will be set up to facilitate communication.
II. Fair play and respect are particularly important. Above all, please feel free to chat on the forum and Discord (friendly banter
is allowed).
III. Match results must be posted on the VFORUM and, if possible, on Discord; in the relevant thread, so they can be validated.
IV. Each group stage and knockout round will have a strict deadline that must be adhered to. This is to ensure the smooth running of the competition and out of respect for other participants.
Any match played outside these deadlines will not be counted and a 1-0 defeat will be awarded to both managers.
The season goes by quickly; registration is on a voluntary basis, so you undertake to meet the deadlines set.
V. You must have a national team comprising at least 11 players of the same nationality.
A minimum of around fifteen players is recommended.
VI. You are permitted to field a naturalised player.
VII. A nation may only be represented by a single manager. No ‘England B’ team, for example. If two identical nations wish to participate, a play-off may be held to determine which team takes part.
VIII. No loaned players may participate in vfifa competitions.
IX. All matches are played on a random basis.
X. Any failure to comply with the rules may result in a forfeit; or even exclusion from the competition.
XI. If you become aware of a breach of the aforementioned rules by a player registered for the Cup, please contact the competition organisers immediately.
XII. In the event of a points tie between two (or more) teams in the group stage, they will be decided by, in order: goal difference, head-to-head record, best attack, and finally the VF ranking.
XIII. In the event of a draw in the knockout stage, a penalty shoot-out will be used to decide between the two teams. You must send 10 shots and 10 saves (G, C, D) to your competition organiser.
XIV. The winner of the competition will be awarded a place in the hall of fame.
Join us on the VFIFA Discord: https://discord.gg/6X5t6FQU
May the best team win!

For 3 md. sidenThat sudden drop is a bit odd… we need at least 32 of us – that would be great

For 3 md. sidenYes, well… I deliberately focused on the most recent peaks, which were exceptional.
27 – frankly, that’s good…
If we look back at the most recent CDMs:
CDM 55: 23 participants
CDM 56: 23
CDM 57: 29
CDM 58: 31
CDM 59: 32
CDM 60: 45 (!!!)
So, I don’t want to take any credit for this, but it’s clear that sending out a group message does help to boost the number of registrations a bit.
Also, historically speaking, I know that in the summer we ‘suffer’ a drop in participants… that’s normal…

For 3 md. sidenMany take part just for the fun of it because their team isn’t at a very high level. When you know the results won’t be great, it’s harder to get motivated!
We could set up an investment fund to help these teams develop! Ultimately, FYM is here for the national teams, so don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need a helping hand :)

For 3 md. sidenThere’s the joy and pride of representing your country!
Not every nation has a team capable of lifting a trophy, but that’s not the point…
The number of participants is important to the VFIFA.
Whenever I can, I encourage people to sign up and take part; I’ve approached (and still sometimes do) clubs on the list of nations directly within the game, as there are some who never visit the VFo.
And for those from ‘modest’ clubs, I sometimes send them a link to what I think is a good deal when I spot one coming up for auction. (I can’t contribute to a pooled fund – I’m not exactly rolling in it.)
Yes, the federations need to support their members...
But as a VFIFA participant, you shouldn’t hesitate to approach in-game managers whose teams might be a good fit...
Oh, and finally, even though duplicate nations are allowed, we need to promote diversity to ensure as many nations as possible take part in the competitions.

For 3 md. sidenAre you saying that I should pick a weak team, just to take part (although that would be a free team if I did that), or that I should ask my organisation for funding?

For 3 md. sidenTo be perfectly honest, don’t rush into it – I think VFIFA is a long-term project… especially when you’re building your nation from scratch.
I’d advise you to take your time and choose your nation carefully.
Given your club profile (which I’d still consider to be at a beginner’s level, as you haven’t completed all your facilities), I think it’s better for you to start with a ‘small nation’.
Why?
Quite simply because, whilst duplicate nations are allowed, there are qualifiers if there are multiple entries for the same nation. You need to bear in mind that if a ‘big club’ chooses your nationality, it’ll be hard to compete and… hard to accept, as building a nation takes a lot of effort.
Here’s a list of nations to help you choose (LinkFor example, recently, Garry and Radio, who have clubs similar to yours, have gone for Aruba and Guam…
Looking at your academy, I’d have suggested Saint Lucia, but LeBrasseur is on that island… If you like, get in touch with him via PM…
In any case, take your time choosing a country (check the price in the CDF – that might help you decide too… and the number of players in the game (https://www.virtuafoot.com/#search?nations), which can also give you an idea of how challenging it’ll be to find those players in the transfer market).
Once you’ve made your choice, post it on the nations list!
Don’t wait until you’ve put your team together to let us know, as there’s always a chance someone else might have the same idea.
Next, to build your nation, there’s the academy, of course… and the transfer market – using the detailed search for transfers and auctions can become a daily routine… it’s all part of the VFIFA adventure!!
If you’re keen to start playing with us as soon as possible (and I can understand why), you can snap up some bargains at auction – there are often players with a starting bid of 10k, and you can find players rated 50 or 60 for that price.
It depends on your budget, of course, and it’s better to spend on facilities.
Then, with the new VF (which is 7 or 8 years old), where you have to earn points to upgrade your infrastructure, well, perhaps you can keep a ‘strong’ team and put together a second 11 made up of players of a different nationality… …and then try to replace the key players as opportunities arise.
In short, it all depends on how you want to play!…
Take your time to think it over… the choice of continent might also be a factor.
Hope to hear from you soon!

For 3 md. sidenI just wanted to echo Tazz26’s suggestion, which clearly states that his team supports clubs setting up a squad for VFIFA competitions; noted.
It’s up to you to decide what you want to do.
I played in the last two competitions with 13 players, including 3–4 who were just training ‘for fun’, but I won’t be playing in this one as I don’t have the squad needed to do well, and even fun has its limits. 😉
As for the rest, I don’t know which association you belong to, but most associations support their members’ projects (financial aid, shared scouting, youth development, etc.); it’s up to you.

For 3 md. sidenHe’s part of the upcoming ‘La Menace Gauloise’ alliance; we help people who want to get their projects off the ground, but we can’t provide money to build a team.
Support in this game isn’t just financial.
And we have an active Discord server that helps with that.
