2016 Confederations Cup

[V.V. Fabbri]

As holders of the WMFA's national team competition, the Benacia Cup, the Tellian team has automatically qualified for this summer's finals in Elwynn. As such, with no need to play qualifying games, Tellia will instead compete in the inaugural FMF Confederations Cup; a new tournament to pit the champions and hosts of the four FMF regions against each other!

The 2016 Confederations Cup will be the first of its kind, and will be held over the same period of time as this year's regional qualifiers. The Confederations Cup will see the reigning champions and current hosts of the Copa Apollonia, CiboTap Championships, EMU Championships and Benacia Cup face-off for another official FMF title.

The tournament's format sees the four holders grouped together, with the four hosts in a separate group. As with the qualifying rounds, teams will play each other twice - once home, once away - with the top two from each group advance to semi-finals and then a final.

The groups for this new FMF competition are as follows, and fixtures will be announced soon:

Holders' Group
Alexandria
Gerenia
Mercury
Tellia

Hosts' Group
Calbion
Elwynn
Hamland
Lakkvia
