Description
Anfield Fireworks is a proud sponsor of The World in One City football tournament 2024!
The World in One City is a football tournament that has burst onto the scene with great success, from the dream and intentions of it’s founder Imad Ali. It’s a community led initiative that gives a unique sporting platform to multi-ethnic communities and individuals across the city of Liverpool. It attracts hundreds of local amateur players who battle it out for their country to be crowned The World In One City Champions. Now in its 4th year of running and with 3 new nations qualifying for the 2024 tournament the excitement is building.
The Teams:
There are 16 teams included in the tournament, all representing a different nation.
Albania, Bangladesh, Brazil, Congo, England, Guinea-Bissau, Ireland, Jamaica, Libya, Namibia, Nigeria, Somali Team, West Indies, Yemen, Zimbabwe, plus a Rest of the World (ROTW) team.
Each nation will play three group stage evening matches throughout the first three weeks of the tournament. The top 2 teams from each group will progress to knockout Quarter-final and Semi-final stage evening matches beginning Monday 24th June. The Final will be held during the afternoon of Sunday 30th June.
Teams will each have squad of up to 20 players and play 11-a-side games on a half-sized pitch. Each match will last 60 minutes in length and penalty shoot outs will decide the outcome where required during knockout stages. Teams are encouraged to play fast, attacking football on the reduced-size pitches, whilst also demonstrating their close ball control, skills, and flair.
This year’s winner will be hoping to join the prestigious group of past tournament champions.
Previous Winners:
2021: Nigeria
2022: England
2023: West Indies
As well as taking home the honour of being crowned ‘best nation in the city’, the winners will also be celebrated by The World in One City community and wider footballing family at a gala awards evening held later in the year.
We believe part of World in One City’s success this far can be attributed to the fact that it is rooted in the heart of Liverpool , a rich and diverse city that harbours great community spirit that not only loves football but also loves to celebrate its rich tapestry of cultures, and with these two ‘loves’ aligned great things are happening!
