World Cup Hall of Fame

2025-11-21T00:36:55Z

SaintEleanor: We made WCF100!

The '''World Cup Hall of Fame''' is for Players, Coaches, Referees, Commentators, Mascots and 'Other' Characters who have made a memorable impact in the history of the [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=World_Cup NationStates World Cup].

Not to be confused with the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GI1y_DMZ8DFKRUApQageVNtDZ0IburNJWgUFVrgr6JE/edit World Cup Nations Hall of Fame]

From ancient, long-forgotten and mis-remembered players to the some of the newer participants of the Cup, all sorts of people (and other things) can make it into the Hall of Fame. Last updated after ''World Cup 65.''

===Baker Park===
'''Trevor Richmond''' (''Manager'')--guided the National Team to qualification for World Cup 80, on the nation's first attempt; also led the squad to the World Cup Finals in cycle 81 & 82. before stepping aside as the winningest NT boss in history (49 victories in 95 matches) 
'''Pamela Scott''' (''Manager'')--took over for Richmond after WC 82 and led the side to qualification for World Cup 83, continuing on through Baker Park's co-hosting of World Cup 84. Also managed the NT to a runner-up spot in Baptism of Fire 67, the BPNT's first ever WCC tournament. Won 61 of 99 matches in the mixed gender era, placing her first in both categories. 
'''Jamari Bozeman''' (''Player'')--scored 58 times in 118 appearances during the mixed gender era, establishing the record for both categories (although he was later surpassed by Annabeth Westmoreland for most appearances with her 121st cap). Dynamic attacking midfielder who passed up opportunities to move abroad, remaining at Southend AC for his entire career. 
'''[[Annabeth Westmoreland]]''' (''Player'')--All time leader in appearances for the National Team (121), first player from Baker Park named to the Galactico Long and Short List, was most expensive overseas transfer in BP history with $CBP9.5 million move from Middletown City Women to Valanora's Hondo FC.

===Banija===

Adama Sowe -''former Chairman of the RBSA, present Vice President of the World Cup Committee, member of the IFCF Executive Council'') 
Gitonga Kahara -''all-time leading scorer for the Banijan national team, all-time caps leader for the national team, World Cup 86 winning captain for the national team''

===Barunia===
Joric Ruskin - Coach (plus ex-captain and war-hero). He has guided the Suns to 7 World Cups, including 3 quarterfinal finishes, their best ever result. He also coached the team to a CoH final. 
Yohan Marris - Barunia's all-time leading goalscorer. He also captained the side for two cycles, which included the Round of 16 in World Cup 68. 
Paul Bainbridge - Famed goalie nicknamed "The Wall". 2nd on Barunia's list of capped players, longest serving captain. He has played in two CoH finals and 5 World Cups.

===Brazillico===
Esteban De Jesus
===Brenecia===
'''Miriam Spitfire''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Left winger. 121 caps, 23 goals. Envy River, FC Brimstone, Guilder.''

One of the Baptism of Fire squad as a young winger, Spitfire was one of the first Brenecians to make a name for herself further abroad than Nephara; specifically, in Apox. A clever, rangy winger who truly elevated what was at the time a fairly agricultural team.

'''Orson Faulkner''' Inducted Cycle 76

''Rightback/centre-half. 126 caps, 7 goals. Northern Union, AC Izotz Zubia.''

A muscular, bruising defender, a slightly late bloomer, and a lion-hearted captain with a knack for only scoring at the time of most need that made him a legendary figure at Zozi. Faulkner was part of the first actually successful generation of Brenecian players, and earned international acclaim for his performances under pressure.

'''Catherine Purrington''' Inducted Cycle 78

''Attacking midfielder. 157 caps, 50 goals. Francisca Orient, Wye United, Vermillion Rage.''

Short, overweight, lazy, exclusively one-footed. Unambitious in her club career. Had a fling with Nephara international Catheline Stockinger. None of this mattered when she was on the pitch and the ball was at her feet, and with a single languid sweep of her chunky left leg she could take it wherever she needed it to go, including the top corner of the net.

'''Ursula Rankin''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 119 caps, 67 goals. FC Endeavour, Wye United, Tanrisal, RGS Athletic.''

Something of a journeywoman striker, Rankin never developed more strings to her bow than just being a poacher and never felt like she needed to. Brenecia's all-time leading goalscorer, the numbers backed her up. When Brenecia played free-flowing Southern football, her runs opened up gaps in defences; when playing the brutalist Northern style, she made the most of scraps.

'''Catherine Gryphon''' Inducted Cycle 81

''Defensive midfielder. 162 caps, 4 goals. Southern Star, FC Brimstone, Northern Union, Starling, Cornellians, Exton FC.''

Never an exciting or dynamic player, but Gryphon reached the top in three different foreign countries, and captained Brenecia to what will likely be its only World Cup. A master of set pieces, but most of her work was just doing the simple things with perfect execution every time.

===Kita-Hinode===
Val Kylx (A human running gag after leaving Slembana towards international football stardom. Got pretty much nothing of it for a long while until a freak accident saw him end up without a leg: he moved to a managerial career and actually was responsible for getting the Northern Sunrise Islands into the World Cup. One of the few cases of a person inducted by another country but not his own homeland.) 
Namine Nagatomo (Street football product, Namine Nagatomo moved to professional football and soon became a star of Sunrisian football. While not a World Cup champion, her efforts were deemed essential towards the identity of Sunrisian football, and by proxy Hinodejin Football.) 
Hannah Alcouin (The key player on the Unified Sunrisian line-up that won the World Cup back-to-back, known for her amazing offensive play. A half-pokémon, she owned one of the finest World Champion pedigrees possible, including two Under-15 World Cup victories and a very respectable run in the Under-21s.) 
Mellody Sioux (A cat-person goalkeeper that served as the number one option for the position in many Sunrisian line-ups. Her style of goalkeeping has been since adopted by Hinodejin players with questionable success.) 
Nikolai Thorben (The father of Hinodejin football as we know it, responsible for several key additions that turned the game into what it is today in the prosperous empire. He also had a career playing for the Matthew City Senators and the Chromatik national football team and became a household name in the Hinodejin Empire during the off-time where the nation was locked away from the rest of the multiverse.) 
Pokécards (Largely inspired by the PISballs, these were all the rage for a couple of cups but also served as the Sunrisians' second-best contribution to the sport as a whole.) 
Anthony Hawk (Former left-back that also missed the World Cup victories but turned out to become a regular name in the Hinodejin Empire as it rejoined the multiverse, serving as a host of the highly influential Anthony Hawk's Project 8. Also was the butt of several in-jokes.) 
The Diamond Club (The name for the group of masked or unidentified Hinodejin players that served the revived Northern Sunrisian national team before the Hinodejin Empire fully unveiled itself. It featured several high-level officials of the Empire and a former Queen.)

===Nephara===
'''Cathy Stokes''' Inducted Cycle 70

''Leftback. 137 caps, 5 goals. AFC Treason.''

Was never among the most talented of the Baptism of Fire squad. However, as a one-club woman and captain of club and country, Stokes' loyalty and resolute determination meant she squeezed out every inch of her skill for the Cormorants for years.

'''Michael Brandon''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Defensive midfielder. 134 caps, 6 goals. Directus.''

Left Nephara at 20 to join Directus, quickly slotting into the first-team picture of one of the multiverse's top sides and spending his entire senior career there. An exceptional midfield general who truly transformed Nephara's image on the international stage from a thuggish backwater to an emergent footballing power.

'''Hadrian Belfast''' Inducted Cycle 74

''Centre-half. 172 caps, 11 goals. Chenoworth Harriers, Sabrefell Athletic, Dwile Warriors, Brookford Otters.''

Still likely Nephara's greatest player. At one stage, he was named Player of the Season in the ANL - at the time the world's best - as the centre-half of the flamboyant attack-minded Dwile Warriors. Played in Nephara's first World Cup finals, aged 23; lifted the CE in his final game, aged 35.

'''Gethin Ramsey''' Inducted Cycle 75

''Managed Nephara through Cycles 64-67. AFC Treason, Cosumar, the Licentian Isles.''

A hard-bitten manager whose insatiable lust for trophies set the tone for Nepharim glory, heading an almost dizzying early period of success for a 'new' national team. Managed the likely unparalleled feat of taking three nations - Nephara, Cosumar and the Licentian Isles - to the World Cup.

'''Elaine Ashdown''' Inducted Cycle 77

''Central midfielder. 155 caps, 50 goals. Iron City, Brinemouth, Hastmead Diamante, Iron City.''

A tall, elegant and cultured midfielder, Ashdown was another player who never fit the stereotypical Nepharim mould. Notoriously slow, but the ball, after all, was round, and especially lethal from set pieces. Ashdown was a true marshal of the midfield, who captained Nephara to the World Cup with understated leadership.

'''Penumbra Amokachi''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 116 caps, 65 goals. Brinemouth, Mâ Âlâmëómë, Eastweald, Coret Hawks.''

Top scorer and self-styled philosopher queen of the 74 champions, the mercurial Amokachi was Nephara's leading goalscorer at the time of her international retirement being curtailed by a falling-out with management. Somehow, this only improved her image as Nephara's spectacular Roman candle.

'''Adnan Szalai''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Right winger. 129 caps, 40 goals. Aries Chariots, Gwinevra Barbarians, Ulsa.''

Szalai came from the very dregs to shine. Widely rumoured to be illiterate, he was Nephara's best player en route to the World Cup, and that only propelled his career forward to greater and greater heights. Szalai has the distinction of being named the first Boldsport Galactico, the best player in the world in the eyes of a neutral third-party agency.

'''Estrella Hawke''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Striker. 150 caps, 91 goals. Starling, Sabrefell Athletic, Directus.''

Athletic, powerful, lethal in front of goal, and nobody in the game has a single bad word to say about her. Hawke's goalscoring record for the national team will probably never be beaten. Spent an all-conquering career on top of both the international scene and club football in Nephara and Eura.

Raul de Olivares ''Forward'' 5th leading Scorer in team history (as of World Cup 46).(30 goals). Forward/Head Coach Played during World Cups 42-44, team's Head Coach World Cup 44 to 47. Inducted before World Cup 47. 
Kallie Jaus ''Forward'' Qazox' 3rd leading scorer (as of World Cup 48). Played During World Cups 42-44, became team's Head Coach in World Cup 47. Inducted before World Cup 47.

Ryan Greenley ''Head Coach'' World Cups 39-42. Qazox' winningest (58 wins) and longest tenured coach (20 years). Led Qazox to first ever 2nd round and quarterfinal appearances at World Cup 41. Inducted before World Cup 54. 
===Quakmybush===
Greg Hughes 
Jon Fields Sr.

===Quebec and Shingoryeo===
Ondrej Cech - Inducted Cycle 85

''Goalkeeper. 113 caps, World Cups 69-77. Turoki Tide.''

 

Leonardo Conavacio - Inducted Cycle 90

''Striker/Right Wing. 121 caps, 71 goals. World Cups 68-77. Alianza FC, Port Sebastian.''

A Wanderer who eventually found peace with Alianza FC and Port Sebastian, Leonardo Conavacio was a dynamic forward whose values as player only got higher over time. Excellent dribbler with flair, aggressiveness and remarkable ceremonies, Conavacio was one player who consistently frustrated opponents and fans alike, and his ability to score in crucial matches, most notably the penalty goal that propelled the Grim Reapers to their only semifinals appearance in his final World Cup, gave him a higher profile than one his role with both Alianza and the Grim Reapers - that being a second striker - would have gotten. Always a hard worker whose controversies (biting incidents on Liga-Premier matches, repeatedly calling for death of Gary Corsie at times, etc) shadowed his work ethic, he went onto have a good career as manager, currently managing Eterna Stars and the HUElavian national team after long stints with Manechester City (associate manager) and Haligonian.

 

Zachary Fortin - Inducted Cycle 76

''Striker. 150 caps, 101 goals. World Cups 65-75. Montreal Koreana, Marinos Metropolis.''

Remarkably well-paced, with immaculate scoring touch and humble attitude, Zachary Fortin was the player whose all-aroundedness and goalscoring record earned the respect of everybody and continues to draw unanimous approval as the greatest Quebecois footballer to have ever played. Barring improvements of the Quebecois national team's forms, which would give Kate Huitema-Omeasoo or Zinaida Woodcarver a genuine chance, it is unlikely his goalscoring record will break. Superstar who led Marinos Metropolis to back-to-back Champions' Cup and Cup Winners' Cup victories, a feat that has not been achieved by a Quebecois player either.

 
Sir. Lionel Mah - Inducted Cycle 88

''Manager. World Cups 76-80, 85-86. CSKA Quebec, Schottian national team, Willox Street Pirates, Quebecois national team.''

A hard-nosed manager with tactical acumen and no-nonsense approach towards players, Sir. Lionel's excellence was recognised both at home and abroad, and on both domestic and international football. Managed the Schottian national team that was stuck in a limbo to a remarkable decade under his direction, with 2nd place in the Cup of Harmony 68, Quarterfinals and 3rd place finish in the World Cups 77 and 78, before winning it all with Schottia in the World Cup 79, recognised by many as one of the most dominant sides of all time. After his stints with CSKA and Willox Street Pirates, he then returned to international football, where he brought his native Quebec to qualify for the World Cup 86 at 72 years of age.

 
Hazel van Robben - Inducted Cycle 85

''Striker/Right Wing. 112 caps, 51 goals. World Cups 69-77, 85. St. John's Arsenal, Magnaeus City, CD FAS, 1830 Cathair.''

Probably the most electric footballer Quebec and Shingoryeo's ever had, with the iconic status of the player that came with her speed, goal ceremonies, potty mouth. Multi-time golden boot winner in the LigAnaia: Nord and Liga-Premier whose goalscoring talent stayed into all her career, she was happy to play on the right wing, where her speed and crosses came particularly valuable for the Grim Reapers. IFCF's inaugural Champions' League victor with 1830 Cathair, where she played for a dozen years, before playing the last two years of her career with hometown St. John's Arsenal. Stayed low-profile since retirement, goes back and forth between Audioslavia and Quebec as a cannabis business executive.

 
Karl Varsteeg - Inducted Cycle 76

''Left Back. 136 caps, 10 goals. World Cups 67-75. Avenida Principal.''

Among the six Quebecois inductees to the Hall of Fame, Karl Varsteeg's probably the least known name out of all of them. Never a flashy figure, which makes sense given the nature of the Quebecois team, Varsteeg's made name for himself with his defensive consistency, height advantage and never leaving the defensive third of the zone. Globe Cup champions with Avenida Principal, where he stayed for most of his career.

# {{color box|#3399CC}} First slot [WCQs 89-95]: {{flagicon|Saint Eleanor}} '''Liam West:''' Who else? West not only captained the national team from Baptism of Fire 76 (coincident with WC89) up until his retirement after the 85th Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC93), but played in every single one of those games. Even today, West remains something of a model for aspiring Eleanorian centrebacks, if not footballers in general: mild-mannered, slightly dovish, mentally and physically capable... and always with one eye on non-sporting pursuits. Although brought up in the eastern city - born in Newbanks and raised in Carpentersville - West was always loyal to Independence 1975, Central district's club and - in its heyday - one of the greatest ever Eleanorian club sides. To some controversy, he was somewhat more vocal in their press conferences than in the national team's, where he largely handed off press duty to Bridget Coombe - his successor as captain - or one of the other regular starters. West wrote a regular column for SESB about his team's progress while he was captain, but has long foresworn journalism and is now the duty manager of a corner shop back in Carpentersville, where he lives with his wife Cecilia. 15 Darlington Street, his old house in Central, is now being leased by SEFA to assistant manager Reniira Clevinger.

=== Siovanija & Teusland ===
[[Thorsten Kramer]] (148 caps, 59 goals) - The greatest Goldhorn in history, ''Der Kaiser'' was the first name on the teamsheet for Siovanija & Teusland in the pre-isolation era. Debuting and scoring in the Goldhorns' first-ever game, Kramer's career took him from champion with FC Teussen Stelburg to IFCF Champions' League winner with 1830 Cathair, before a return to his hometown of Stelburg at the end of his career. In between, he captained the Goldhorns to qualification on 4 separate occasions, scoring 3 goals at the World Cup Finals. An attack-minded central midfielder, Kramer defined football in Siovanija & Teusland throughout his career. For his efforts for club and country, he won a Silver Galactico award, and is generally viewed as the greatest athlete in his country's history.

''Trevor Duncan (played WCQ62-WC68, managed WCQ75)'' - One of Super-Llamaland's first great players, the dynamic attacking-midfielder put Super-Llamaland on the map with his well-rounded game. Saw out a great career by helping clinch the Tigers' first-ever World Cup qualification before retiring and briefly serving as national team manager.

''Alex Cartwright (played WCQ68-WC74)'' - A dominant midfielder-turned-striker who in his heyday was one of the best in Esportiva at scoring goals. His career began with the Tigers' first qualification and ended with a triumphant return to the World Cup after a two-cycle drought. Also had a fruitful career with Quebec's Kingston FC in LigAnaia.

''Adrian Lindberg (played WCQ74-WCQ80)'' - Fearless defender and Llamanean captain, as well as a Champion's Cup winner with Real Azuris, Lindberg's leadership, composure, and skill made him a mainstay in Llamanean football for over a decade.

A free agent until Tinhampton's win at the 73rd Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC81), in which her greatest role was scoring the winning goal in their quarterfinal, she secured a move to Crystal Fair HC of the United League on a free transfer, where she remained long after the financial collapse of Tinhampton's FA. After retiring from club football, Evans became the manager of Saint Eleanor, a former Tinhamptonian colony. She spent six-and-a-half cycles on deployment with the White Stars, leading them to the 91st and 94th World Cup final tournaments as well as the 84th Cup of Harmony title (coincident with WC92), before being forced out after the 95th qualifiers following a massive player revolt.

SaintEleanor: I told you I would do this

==Saint Eleanor vs Tanirinthia==

You may have noticed that details of this game have been changed to conform to [https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=42759812#p42759812 what I roleplayed]. This was in part because I did not know until long after the fact that Tanirinthia had already assigned statistics to this match on the wiki (whereas I tend to check for posts in the RP thread) and therefore proceeded to write my own summary, which involved Olympia Woodward going off injured with a hobbled ACL instead of scoring a 96th-minute penalty only to miss hers in the shootout. He was more than understanding of my bafflement, however.

For contest, please see the below transcript of the below Discord conversation between us, namely "tinhampton" (tinhampton) and "Carpathia & Ruthenia/Tanirinthia" (carpathiaandruthenia), which happened over 25th-26th June 2025. Times are in BST, which is our ordinary timezone. As C&R still hasn't made the conforming edits after a week, I've just done so myself and planted the flag here for posterity's sake.

:''20:54 tinhampton: Never mind spaghetti; I think we have a Big Misunderstanding: For Big McDonald's Hunger here... 😳

:''I'm aware that the NSSWiki World Cup pages typically don't get a lot of love, and have previously assumed that your lack of match reports in the WC98 RP thread meant that you were just doing Of Fates and Fortunes instead. I accordingly decided to go ahead, write a few of my own details for the match - Bacchus 31, Ohan 52, Matsuda [RC] 80, Woodward ACL'd out of viability for several months/the first few qualifiers, Hollenberg the villain - and post it on MD1/2 of qualifying.

:''So imagine my surprise when I visited the WC98 wiki page today, i.e. over a month later, to learn that madam Woodward not only did not go off injured, but scored a 96th-minute equaliser before recording the only Eleanorian miss of the shootout! 😂

:''(I do suppose that Tanirithians are, by law, under no circumstances to be made aware of the multiverse, but still...)

:''22:31 Carpathia & Ruthenia/Tanirinthia: No trouble, I had in fact seen your RP and meant to update the wiki to reflect your RP, I had also meant to message you after I had put it in the wiki!

:''22:34 Carpathia & Ruthenia/Tanirinthia: Tanirinthians wouldn't have been aware, so just chalk it up to bad record keeping. However now they are aware of the multiverse just in time for us to have a terrible world cup (for our rank)!

:''22:34 Carpathia & Ruthenia/Tanirinthia: I will update the wiki to reflect the scorers as your RP

:''00:51 tinhampton: 😄

:''Do you mind if I deposit this conversation on the talk page ( https://nssportwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:World_Cup_98&action=edit&redlink=1 ) for transparency's sake, just in case anyone is looking through the page history wondering what the goodness happened to the statistics?

:''08:31 Carpathia & Ruthenia/Tanirinthia: Not at all, deposit away!''

(For those of you not living in the UK at the time, "For Big McDonald's Hunger" was the tagline used for the Big Arch, which was on the UK menu only for ten weeks in the summer of 2025. I rank it exactly one tier below the Big Mac, which is to say that it is pretty good. Sorry, Other Arch.)

'''World Cup 98''' was an international football tournament held in [[Tikariot]], [[The Kytler Peninsulae]], [[Qusmo]], and [[Yuezhou]] (collectively billed as ''Xandrian Sea'' after the body of water that these nations surround). It was the first World Cup to use the new KPB+ rankings formula, marking the change from the previous [[KPB ranking system]]. [[Flavovespia]] won their first World Cup title, defeating [[Crpostran]] 1-0 in the final in [[TIkariot City]], [[Tikariot]]. All four semi-finalists made their first appearance at that stage of the tournament, with two of them (Crpostran and [[Edsmontik]]) doing so within three cycles of their [[Baptism of Fire]] debut.

==Qualification==
{{Main article|World Cup 98 qualification}}
Three of the four host countries qualified automatically, with Yuezhou required to qualify normally. A total of 144 teams entered the qualifying phase, vying for the 45 available places in the finals. Rank is as of beginning of qualifying.

==Group stage==
===Draw===
Teams were allocated to four pots on the basis of the [[KPB+ ranking system]]. The three automatically-qualified hosts were all placed into Pot 1 and assigned into scheduling position 1 of Groups A-C. Yuezhou were a Pot 1 team on merit, and were assigned into scheduling position 1 of Group D. The remaining 44 teams were drawn randomly from their pot into both a group and a scheduling position for the purposes of determining the match schedules in each group; the computerised draw procedure used at this tournament incorporated both of these steps at once by way of assigning each group a code containing each of the digits 1-4 inclusive in a randomised order, with digit ''n'' in this code being the scheduling position of the team in Pot ''n''. (Groups A-D had this process adapted such that the first digit, representing the Pot 1 hosts in these groups, was always a 1.)

==OOC notes==
The tournament represented several breaks from previous [[World Cup]] convention:
*It was the first World Cup to feature four credited host nations. The last time more than two finals hosts were involved was [[World Cup 22]] when a co-host withdrew and the hosting rights were handed over to the second-placed bid for that cycle.
*Of the four in-character hosts, only [[Tikariot]], [[The Kytler Peninsulae]], and [[Qusmo]] scorinated matches. Yuezhou was only an in-character host and required to go through qualification as usual.
**This also applied to the various nations that hosted matches in [[World Cup 75]], but they were not credited as co-hosts in any form besides the tournament logo.
*The knockout bracket was set using new a process referred to as ''Qusma seeding'' whereby paths through the knockout stage were set by group stage record with modifications to keep teams from the same group apart in the bracket for as long as is mathematically possible.
*The [[roleplay bonus]] was calculated as a weighted average and multiplied by a fixed constant ([[1093|10.93]]) throughout the tournament, rather than being applied on a cumulative basis as had become convention.

===Baker Park===
'''Trevor Richmond''' (''Manager'')--guided the National Team to qualification for World Cup 80, on the nation's first attempt; also led the squad to the World Cup Finals in cycle 81 & 82. before stepping aside as the winningest NT boss in history (49 victories in 95 matches) 
'''Pamela Scott''' (''Manager'')--took over for Richmond after WC 82 and led the side to qualification for World Cup 83, continuing on through Baker Park's co-hosting of World Cup 84. Also managed the NT to a runner-up spot in Baptism of Fire 67, the BPNT's first ever WCC tournament. Won 61 of 99 matches in the mixed gender era, placing her first in both categories. 
'''Jamari Bozeman''' (''Player'')--scored 58 times in 118 appearances during the mixed gender era, establishing the record for both categories (although he was later surpassed by Annabeth Westmoreland for most appearances with her 121st cap). Dynamic attacking midfielder who passed up opportunities to move abroad, remaining at Southend AC for his entire career. 
'''[[Annabeth Westmoreland]]''' (''Player'')--All time leader in appearances for the National Team (121), first player from Baker Park named to the Galactico Long and Short List, was most expensive overseas transfer in BP history with $CBP9.5 million move from Middletown City Women to Valanora's Hondo FC.

===Banija===

Adama Sowe -''former Chairman of the RBSA, present Vice President of the World Cup Committee, member of the IFCF Executive Council'') 
Gitonga Kahara -''all-time leading scorer for the Banijan national team, all-time caps leader for the national team, World Cup 86 winning captain for the national team''

===Barunia===
Joric Ruskin - Coach (plus ex-captain and war-hero). He has guided the Suns to 7 World Cups, including 3 quarterfinal finishes, their best ever result. He also coached the team to a CoH final. 
Yohan Marris - Barunia's all-time leading goalscorer. He also captained the side for two cycles, which included the Round of 16 in World Cup 68. 
Paul Bainbridge - Famed goalie nicknamed "The Wall". 2nd on Barunia's list of capped players, longest serving captain. He has played in two CoH finals and 5 World Cups.

===Brazillico===
Esteban De Jesus
===Brenecia===
'''Miriam Spitfire''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Left winger. 121 caps, 23 goals. Envy River, FC Brimstone, Guilder.''

One of the Baptism of Fire squad as a young winger, Spitfire was one of the first Brenecians to make a name for herself further abroad than Nephara; specifically, in Apox. A clever, rangy winger who truly elevated what was at the time a fairly agricultural team.

'''Orson Faulkner''' Inducted Cycle 76

''Rightback/centre-half. 126 caps, 7 goals. Northern Union, AC Izotz Zubia.''

A muscular, bruising defender, a slightly late bloomer, and a lion-hearted captain with a knack for only scoring at the time of most need that made him a legendary figure at Zozi. Faulkner was part of the first actually successful generation of Brenecian players, and earned international acclaim for his performances under pressure.

'''Catherine Purrington''' Inducted Cycle 78

''Attacking midfielder. 157 caps, 50 goals. Francisca Orient, Wye United, Vermillion Rage.''

Short, overweight, lazy, exclusively one-footed. Unambitious in her club career. Had a fling with Nephara international Catheline Stockinger. None of this mattered when she was on the pitch and the ball was at her feet, and with a single languid sweep of her chunky left leg she could take it wherever she needed it to go, including the top corner of the net.

'''Ursula Rankin''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 119 caps, 67 goals. FC Endeavour, Wye United, Tanrisal, RGS Athletic.''

Something of a journeywoman striker, Rankin never developed more strings to her bow than just being a poacher and never felt like she needed to. Brenecia's all-time leading goalscorer, the numbers backed her up. When Brenecia played free-flowing Southern football, her runs opened up gaps in defences; when playing the brutalist Northern style, she made the most of scraps.

'''Catherine Gryphon''' Inducted Cycle 81

''Defensive midfielder. 162 caps, 4 goals. Southern Star, FC Brimstone, Northern Union, Starling, Cornellians, Exton FC.''

Never an exciting or dynamic player, but Gryphon reached the top in three different foreign countries, and captained Brenecia to what will likely be its only World Cup. A master of set pieces, but most of her work was just doing the simple things with perfect execution every time.

Val Kylx (A human running gag after leaving Slembana towards international football stardom. Got pretty much nothing of it for a long while until a freak accident saw him end up without a leg: he moved to a managerial career and actually was responsible for getting the Northern Sunrise Islands into the World Cup. One of the few cases of a person inducted by another country but not his own homeland.) 
Namine Nagatomo (Street football product, Namine Nagatomo moved to professional football and soon became a star of Sunrisian football. While not a World Cup champion, her efforts were deemed essential towards the identity of Sunrisian football, and by proxy Hinodejin Football.) 
Hannah Alcouin (The key player on the Unified Sunrisian line-up that won the World Cup back-to-back, known for her amazing offensive play. A half-pokémon, she owned one of the finest World Champion pedigrees possible, including two Under-15 World Cup victories and a very respectable run in the Under-21s.) 
Mellody Sioux (A cat-person goalkeeper that served as the number one option for the position in many Sunrisian line-ups. Her style of goalkeeping has been since adopted by Hinodejin players with questionable success.) 
Nikolai Thorben (The father of Hinodejin football as we know it, responsible for several key additions that turned the game into what it is today in the prosperous empire. He also had a career playing for the Matthew City Senators and the Chromatik national football team and became a household name in the Hinodejin Empire during the off-time where the nation was locked away from the rest of the multiverse.) 
Pokécards (Largely inspired by the PISballs, these were all the rage for a couple of cups but also served as the Sunrisians' second-best contribution to the sport as a whole.) 
Anthony Hawk (Former left-back that also missed the World Cup victories but turned out to become a regular name in the Hinodejin Empire as it rejoined the multiverse, serving as a host of the highly influential Anthony Hawk's Project 8. Also was the butt of several in-jokes.) 
The Diamond Club (The name for the group of masked or unidentified Hinodejin players that served the revived Northern Sunrisian national team before the Hinodejin Empire fully unveiled itself. It featured several high-level officials of the Empire and a former Queen.)

===Nephara===
'''Cathy Stokes''' Inducted Cycle 70

''Leftback. 137 caps, 5 goals. AFC Treason.''

Was never among the most talented of the Baptism of Fire squad. However, as a one-club woman and captain of club and country, Stokes' loyalty and resolute determination meant she squeezed out every inch of her skill for the Cormorants for years.

'''Michael Brandon''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Defensive midfielder. 134 caps, 6 goals. Directus.''

Left Nephara at 20 to join Directus, quickly slotting into the first-team picture of one of the multiverse's top sides and spending his entire senior career there. An exceptional midfield general who truly transformed Nephara's image on the international stage from a thuggish backwater to an emergent footballing power.

'''Hadrian Belfast''' Inducted Cycle 74

''Centre-half. 172 caps, 11 goals. Chenoworth Harriers, Sabrefell Athletic, Dwile Warriors, Brookford Otters.''

Still likely Nephara's greatest player. At one stage, he was named Player of the Season in the ANL - at the time the world's best - as the centre-half of the flamboyant attack-minded Dwile Warriors. Played in Nephara's first World Cup finals, aged 23; lifted the CE in his final game, aged 35.

'''Gethin Ramsey''' Inducted Cycle 75

''Managed Nephara through Cycles 64-67. AFC Treason, Cosumar, the Licentian Isles.''

A hard-bitten manager whose insatiable lust for trophies set the tone for Nepharim glory, heading an almost dizzying early period of success for a 'new' national team. Managed the likely unparalleled feat of taking three nations - Nephara, Cosumar and the Licentian Isles - to the World Cup.

'''Elaine Ashdown''' Inducted Cycle 77

''Central midfielder. 155 caps, 50 goals. Iron City, Brinemouth, Hastmead Diamante, Iron City.''

A tall, elegant and cultured midfielder, Ashdown was another player who never fit the stereotypical Nepharim mould. Notoriously slow, but the ball, after all, was round, and especially lethal from set pieces. Ashdown was a true marshal of the midfield, who captained Nephara to the World Cup with understated leadership.

'''Penumbra Amokachi''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 116 caps, 65 goals. Brinemouth, Mâ Âlâmëómë, Eastweald, Coret Hawks.''

Top scorer and self-styled philosopher queen of the 74 champions, the mercurial Amokachi was Nephara's leading goalscorer at the time of her international retirement being curtailed by a falling-out with management. Somehow, this only improved her image as Nephara's spectacular Roman candle.

'''Adnan Szalai''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Right winger. 129 caps, 40 goals. Aries Chariots, Gwinevra Barbarians, Ulsa.''

Szalai came from the very dregs to shine. Widely rumoured to be illiterate, he was Nephara's best player en route to the World Cup, and that only propelled his career forward to greater and greater heights. Szalai has the distinction of being named the first Boldsport Galactico, the best player in the world in the eyes of a neutral third-party agency.

'''Estrella Hawke''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Striker. 150 caps, 91 goals. Starling, Sabrefell Athletic, Directus.''

Athletic, powerful, lethal in front of goal, and nobody in the game has a single bad word to say about her. Hawke's goalscoring record for the national team will probably never be beaten. Spent an all-conquering career on top of both the international scene and club football in Nephara and Eura.

===Quakmybush===
Greg Hughes 
Jon Fields Sr.

===Quebec and Shingoryeo===
Ondrej Cech - Inducted Cycle 85

''Goalkeeper. 113 caps, World Cups 69-77. Turoki Tide.''

 

Leonardo Conavacio - Inducted Cycle 90

''Striker/Right Wing. 121 caps, 71 goals. World Cups 68-77. Alianza FC, Port Sebastian.''

A Wanderer who eventually found peace with Alianza FC and Port Sebastian, Leonardo Conavacio was a dynamic forward whose values as player only got higher over time. Excellent dribbler with flair, aggressiveness and remarkable ceremonies, Conavacio was one player who consistently frustrated opponents and fans alike, and his ability to score in crucial matches, most notably the penalty goal that propelled the Grim Reapers to their only semifinals appearance in his final World Cup, gave him a higher profile than one his role with both Alianza and the Grim Reapers - that being a second striker - would have gotten. Always a hard worker whose controversies (biting incidents on Liga-Premier matches, repeatedly calling for death of Gary Corsie at times, etc) shadowed his work ethic, he went onto have a good career as manager, currently managing Eterna Stars and the HUElavian national team after long stints with Manechester City (associate manager) and Haligonian.

 

Zachary Fortin - Inducted Cycle 76

''Striker. 150 caps, 101 goals. World Cups 65-75. Montreal Koreana, Marinos Metropolis.''

Remarkably well-paced, with immaculate scoring touch and humble attitude, Zachary Fortin was the player whose all-aroundedness and goalscoring record earned the respect of everybody and continues to draw unanimous approval as the greatest Quebecois footballer to have ever played. Barring improvements of the Quebecois national team's forms, which would give Kate Huitema-Omeasoo or Zinaida Woodcarver a genuine chance, it is unlikely his goalscoring record will break. Superstar who led Marinos Metropolis to back-to-back Champions' Cup and Cup Winners' Cup victories, a feat that has not been achieved by a Quebecois player either.

 
Sir. Lionel Mah - Inducted Cycle 88

''Manager. World Cups 76-80, 85-86. CSKA Quebec, Schottian national team, Willox Street Pirates, Quebecois national team.''

A hard-nosed manager with tactical acumen and no-nonsense approach towards players, Sir. Lionel's excellence was recognised both at home and abroad, and on both domestic and international football. Managed the Schottian national team that was stuck in a limbo to a remarkable decade under his direction, with 2nd place in the Cup of Harmony 68, Quarterfinals and 3rd place finish in the World Cups 77 and 78, before winning it all with Schottia in the World Cup 79, recognised by many as one of the most dominant sides of all time. After his stints with CSKA and Willox Street Pirates, he then returned to international football, where he brought his native Quebec to qualify for the World Cup 86 at 72 years of age.

 
Hazel van Robben - Inducted Cycle 85

''Striker/Right Wing. 112 caps, 51 goals. World Cups 69-77, 85. St. John's Arsenal, Magnaeus City, CD FAS, 1830 Cathair.''

Probably the most electric footballer Quebec and Shingoryeo's ever had, with the iconic status of the player that came with her speed, goal ceremonies, potty mouth. Multi-time golden boot winner in the LigAnaia: Nord and Liga-Premier whose goalscoring talent stayed into all her career, she was happy to play on the right wing, where her speed and crosses came particularly valuable for the Grim Reapers. IFCF's inaugural Champions' League victor with 1830 Cathair, where she played for a dozen years, before playing the last two years of her career with hometown St. John's Arsenal. Stayed low-profile since retirement, goes back and forth between Audioslavia and Quebec as a cannabis business executive.

 
Karl Varsteeg - Inducted Cycle 76

''Left Back. 136 caps, 10 goals. World Cups 67-75. Avenida Principal.''

Among the six Quebecois inductees to the Hall of Fame, Karl Varsteeg's probably the least known name out of all of them. Never a flashy figure, which makes sense given the nature of the Quebecois team, Varsteeg's made name for himself with his defensive consistency, height advantage and never leaving the defensive third of the zone. Globe Cup champions with Avenida Principal, where he stayed for most of his career.

# {{color box|#3399CC}} First slot [WCQs 89-95]: {{flagicon|Saint Eleanor}} '''Liam West:''' Who else? West not only captained the national team from Baptism of Fire 76 (coincident with WC89) up until his retirement after the 85th Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC93), but played in every single one of those games. Even today, West remains something of a model for aspiring Eleanorian centrebacks, if not footballers in general: mild-mannered, slightly dovish, mentally and physically capable... and always with one eye on non-sporting pursuits. Although brought up in the eastern city - born in Newbanks and raised in Carpentersville - West was always loyal to Independence 1975, Central district's club and - in its heyday - one of the greatest ever Eleanorian club sides. To some controversy, he was somewhat more vocal in their press conferences than in the national team's, where he largely handed off press duty to Bridget Coombe - his successor as captain - or one of the other regular starters. West wrote a regular column for SESB about his team's progress while he was captain, but has long foresworn journalism and is now the duty manager of a corner shop back in Carpentersville, where he lives with his wife Cecilia. 15 Darlington Street, his old house in Central, is now being leased by SEFA to assistant manager Reniira Clevinger.

[[Thorsten Kramer]] (148 caps, 59 goals) - The greatest Goldhorn in history, ''Der Kaiser'' was the first name on the teamsheet for Siovanija & Teusland in the pre-isolation era. Debuting and scoring in the Goldhorns' first-ever game, Kramer's career took him from champion with FC Teussen Stelburg to IFCF Champions' League winner with 1830 Cathair, before a return to his hometown of Stelburg at the end of his career. In between, he captained the Goldhorns to qualification on 4 separate occasions, scoring 3 goals at the World Cup Finals. An attack-minded central midfielder, Kramer defined football in Siovanija & Teusland throughout his career. For his efforts for club and country, he won a Silver Galactico award, and is generally viewed as the greatest athlete in his country's history.

Saw out a great career by helping clinch the Tigers' first-ever World Cup qualification before retiring and briefly serving as national team manager.

''Alex Cartwright (played WCQ68-WC74)'' - A dominant midfielder-turned-striker who in his heyday was one of the best in Esportiva at scoring goals.

''Adrian Lindberg (played WCQ74-WCQ80)'' - Fearless defender and Llamanean captain, as well as a Champion's Cup winner with Real Azuris, Lindberg's leadership, composure, and skill made him a mainstay in Llamanean football for over a decade.

A free agent until Tinhampton's win at the 73rd Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC81), in which her greatest role was scoring the winning goal in their quarterfinal, she secured a move to Crystal Fair HC of the United League on a free transfer, where she remained long after the financial collapse of Tinhampton's FA. After retiring from club football, Evans became the manager of Saint Eleanor, a former Tinhamptonian colony. She spent six-and-a-half cycles on deployment with the White Stars, leading them to the 91st and 94th World Cup final tournaments as well as the 84th Cup of Harmony title (coincident with WC92), before being forced out after the 95th qualifiers following a massive player revolt.

===Baker Park===
'''Trevor Richmond''' (''Manager'')--guided the National Team to qualification for World Cup 80, on the nation's first attempt; also led the squad to the World Cup Finals in cycle 81 & 82. before stepping aside as the winningest NT boss in history (49 victories in 95 matches) 
'''Pamela Scott''' (''Manager'')--took over for Richmond after WC 82 and led the side to qualification for World Cup 83, continuing on through Baker Park's co-hosting of World Cup 84. Also managed the NT to a runner-up spot in Baptism of Fire 67, the BPNT's first ever WCC tournament. Won 61 of 99 matches in the mixed gender era, placing her first in both categories. 
'''Jamari Bozeman''' (''Player'')--scored 58 times in 118 appearances during the mixed gender era, establishing the record for both categories (although he was later surpassed by Annabeth Westmoreland for most appearances with her 121st cap). Dynamic attacking midfielder who passed up opportunities to move abroad, remaining at Southend AC for his entire career. 
'''[[Annabeth Westmoreland]]''' (''Player'')--All time leader in appearances for the National Team (121), first player from Baker Park named to the Galactico Long and Short List, was most expensive overseas transfer in BP history with $CBP9.5 million move from Middletown City Women to Valanora's Hondo FC.

===Banija===

Adama Sowe -''former Chairman of the RBSA, present Vice President of the World Cup Committee, member of the IFCF Executive Council'') 
Gitonga Kahara -''all-time leading scorer for the Banijan national team, all-time caps leader for the national team, World Cup 86 winning captain for the national team''

===Barunia===
Joric Ruskin - Coach (plus ex-captain and war-hero). He has guided the Suns to 7 World Cups, including 3 quarterfinal finishes, their best ever result. He also coached the team to a CoH final. 
Yohan Marris - Barunia's all-time leading goalscorer. He also captained the side for two cycles, which included the Round of 16 in World Cup 68. 
Paul Bainbridge - Famed goalie nicknamed "The Wall". 2nd on Barunia's list of capped players, longest serving captain. He has played in two CoH finals and 5 World Cups.

===Brenecia===
'''Miriam Spitfire''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Left winger. 121 caps, 23 goals. Envy River, FC Brimstone, Guilder.''

One of the Baptism of Fire squad as a young winger, Spitfire was one of the first Brenecians to make a name for herself further abroad than Nephara; specifically, in Apox. A clever, rangy winger who truly elevated what was at the time a fairly agricultural team.

'''Orson Faulkner''' Inducted Cycle 76

''Rightback/centre-half. 126 caps, 7 goals. Northern Union, AC Izotz Zubia.''

A muscular, bruising defender, a slightly late bloomer, and a lion-hearted captain with a knack for only scoring at the time of most need that made him a legendary figure at Zozi. Faulkner was part of the first actually successful generation of Brenecian players, and earned international acclaim for his performances under pressure.

'''Catherine Purrington''' Inducted Cycle 78

''Attacking midfielder. 157 caps, 50 goals. Francisca Orient, Wye United, Vermillion Rage.''

Short, overweight, lazy, exclusively one-footed. Unambitious in her club career. Had a fling with Nephara international Catheline Stockinger. None of this mattered when she was on the pitch and the ball was at her feet, and with a single languid sweep of her chunky left leg she could take it wherever she needed it to go, including the top corner of the net.

'''Ursula Rankin''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 119 caps, 67 goals. FC Endeavour, Wye United, Tanrisal, RGS Athletic.''

Something of a journeywoman striker, Rankin never developed more strings to her bow than just being a poacher and never felt like she needed to. Brenecia's all-time leading goalscorer, the numbers backed her up. When Brenecia played free-flowing Southern football, her runs opened up gaps in defences; when playing the brutalist Northern style, she made the most of scraps.

'''Catherine Gryphon''' Inducted Cycle 81

''Defensive midfielder. 162 caps, 4 goals. Southern Star, FC Brimstone, Northern Union, Starling, Cornellians, Exton FC.''

Never an exciting or dynamic player, but Gryphon reached the top in three different foreign countries, and captained Brenecia to what will likely be its only World Cup. A master of set pieces, but most of her work was just doing the simple things with perfect execution every time.

Val Kylx (A human running gag after leaving Slembana towards international football stardom. Got pretty much nothing of it for a long while until a freak accident saw him end up without a leg: he moved to a managerial career and actually was responsible for getting the Northern Sunrise Islands into the World Cup. One of the few cases of a person inducted by another country but not his own homeland.) 
Namine Nagatomo (Street football product, Namine Nagatomo moved to professional football and soon became a star of Sunrisian football. While not a World Cup champion, her efforts were deemed essential towards the identity of Sunrisian football, and by proxy Hinodejin Football.) 
Hannah Alcouin (The key player on the Unified Sunrisian line-up that won the World Cup back-to-back, known for her amazing offensive play. A half-pokémon, she owned one of the finest World Champion pedigrees possible, including two Under-15 World Cup victories and a very respectable run in the Under-21s.) 
Mellody Sioux (A cat-person goalkeeper that served as the number one option for the position in many Sunrisian line-ups. Her style of goalkeeping has been since adopted by Hinodejin players with questionable success.) 
Nikolai Thorben (The father of Hinodejin football as we know it, responsible for several key additions that turned the game into what it is today in the prosperous empire. He also had a career playing for the Matthew City Senators and the Chromatik national football team and became a household name in the Hinodejin Empire during the off-time where the nation was locked away from the rest of the multiverse.) 
Pokécards (Largely inspired by the PISballs, these were all the rage for a couple of cups but also served as the Sunrisians' second-best contribution to the sport as a whole.) 
Anthony Hawk (Former left-back that also missed the World Cup victories but turned out to become a regular name in the Hinodejin Empire as it rejoined the multiverse, serving as a host of the highly influential Anthony Hawk's Project 8. Also was the butt of several in-jokes.) 
The Diamond Club (The name for the group of masked or unidentified Hinodejin players that served the revived Northern Sunrisian national team before the Hinodejin Empire fully unveiled itself. It featured several high-level officials of the Empire and a former Queen.)

===Nephara===
'''Cathy Stokes''' Inducted Cycle 70

''Leftback. 137 caps, 5 goals. AFC Treason.''

Was never among the most talented of the Baptism of Fire squad. However, as a one-club woman and captain of club and country, Stokes' loyalty and resolute determination meant she squeezed out every inch of her skill for the Cormorants for years.

'''Michael Brandon''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Defensive midfielder. 134 caps, 6 goals. Directus.''

Left Nephara at 20 to join Directus, quickly slotting into the first-team picture of one of the multiverse's top sides and spending his entire senior career there. An exceptional midfield general who truly transformed Nephara's image on the international stage from a thuggish backwater to an emergent footballing power.

'''Hadrian Belfast''' Inducted Cycle 74

''Centre-half. 172 caps, 11 goals. Chenoworth Harriers, Sabrefell Athletic, Dwile Warriors, Brookford Otters.''

Still likely Nephara's greatest player. At one stage, he was named Player of the Season in the ANL - at the time the world's best - as the centre-half of the flamboyant attack-minded Dwile Warriors. Played in Nephara's first World Cup finals, aged 23; lifted the CE in his final game, aged 35.

'''Gethin Ramsey''' Inducted Cycle 75

''Managed Nephara through Cycles 64-67. AFC Treason, Cosumar, the Licentian Isles.''

A hard-bitten manager whose insatiable lust for trophies set the tone for Nepharim glory, heading an almost dizzying early period of success for a 'new' national team. Managed the likely unparalleled feat of taking three nations - Nephara, Cosumar and the Licentian Isles - to the World Cup.

'''Elaine Ashdown''' Inducted Cycle 77

''Central midfielder. 155 caps, 50 goals. Iron City, Brinemouth, Hastmead Diamante, Iron City.''

A tall, elegant and cultured midfielder, Ashdown was another player who never fit the stereotypical Nepharim mould. Notoriously slow, but the ball, after all, was round, and especially lethal from set pieces. Ashdown was a true marshal of the midfield, who captained Nephara to the World Cup with understated leadership.

'''Penumbra Amokachi''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 116 caps, 65 goals. Brinemouth, Mâ Âlâmëómë, Eastweald, Coret Hawks.''

Top scorer and self-styled philosopher queen of the 74 champions, the mercurial Amokachi was Nephara's leading goalscorer at the time of her international retirement being curtailed by a falling-out with management. Somehow, this only improved her image as Nephara's spectacular Roman candle.

'''Adnan Szalai''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Right winger. 129 caps, 40 goals. Aries Chariots, Gwinevra Barbarians, Ulsa.''

Szalai came from the very dregs to shine. Widely rumoured to be illiterate, he was Nephara's best player en route to the World Cup, and that only propelled his career forward to greater and greater heights. Szalai has the distinction of being named the first Boldsport Galactico, the best player in the world in the eyes of a neutral third-party agency.

'''Estrella Hawke''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Striker. 150 caps, 91 goals. Starling, Sabrefell Athletic, Directus.''

Athletic, powerful, lethal in front of goal, and nobody in the game has a single bad word to say about her. Hawke's goalscoring record for the national team will probably never be beaten. Spent an all-conquering career on top of both the international scene and club football in Nephara and Eura.

===Quakmybush===
Greg Hughes 
Jon Fields Sr.

===Quebec and Shingoryeo===
Ondrej Cech - Inducted Cycle 85

''Goalkeeper. 113 caps, World Cups 69-77. Turoki Tide.''

 

Leonardo Conavacio - Inducted Cycle 90

''Striker/Right Wing. 121 caps, 71 goals. World Cups 68-77. Alianza FC, Port Sebastian.''

A Wanderer who eventually found peace with Alianza FC and Port Sebastian, Leonardo Conavacio was a dynamic forward whose values as player only got higher over time. Excellent dribbler with flair, aggressiveness and remarkable ceremonies, Conavacio was one player who consistently frustrated opponents and fans alike, and his ability to score in crucial matches, most notably the penalty goal that propelled the Grim Reapers to their only semifinals appearance in his final World Cup, gave him a higher profile than one his role with both Alianza and the Grim Reapers - that being a second striker - would have gotten. Always a hard worker whose controversies (biting incidents on Liga-Premier matches, repeatedly calling for death of Gary Corsie at times, etc) shadowed his work ethic, he went onto have a good career as manager, currently managing Eterna Stars and the HUElavian national team after long stints with Manechester City (associate manager) and Haligonian.

 

Zachary Fortin - Inducted Cycle 76

''Striker. 150 caps, 101 goals. World Cups 65-75. Montreal Koreana, Marinos Metropolis.''

Remarkably well-paced, with immaculate scoring touch and humble attitude, Zachary Fortin was the player whose all-aroundedness and goalscoring record earned the respect of everybody and continues to draw unanimous approval as the greatest Quebecois footballer to have ever played. Barring improvements of the Quebecois national team's forms, which would give Kate Huitema-Omeasoo or Zinaida Woodcarver a genuine chance, it is unlikely his goalscoring record will break. Superstar who led Marinos Metropolis to back-to-back Champions' Cup and Cup Winners' Cup victories, a feat that has not been achieved by a Quebecois player either.

 
Sir. Lionel Mah - Inducted Cycle 88

''Manager. World Cups 76-80, 85-86. CSKA Quebec, Schottian national team, Willox Street Pirates, Quebecois national team.''

A hard-nosed manager with tactical acumen and no-nonsense approach towards players, Sir. Lionel's excellence was recognised both at home and abroad, and on both domestic and international football. Managed the Schottian national team that was stuck in a limbo to a remarkable decade under his direction, with 2nd place in the Cup of Harmony 68, Quarterfinals and 3rd place finish in the World Cups 77 and 78, before winning it all with Schottia in the World Cup 79, recognised by many as one of the most dominant sides of all time. After his stints with CSKA and Willox Street Pirates, he then returned to international football, where he brought his native Quebec to qualify for the World Cup 86 at 72 years of age.

 
Hazel van Robben - Inducted Cycle 85

''Striker/Right Wing. 112 caps, 51 goals. World Cups 69-77, 85. St. John's Arsenal, Magnaeus City, CD FAS, 1830 Cathair.''

Probably the most electric footballer Quebec and Shingoryeo's ever had, with the iconic status of the player that came with her speed, goal ceremonies, potty mouth. Multi-time golden boot winner in the LigAnaia: Nord and Liga-Premier whose goalscoring talent stayed into all her career, she was happy to play on the right wing, where her speed and crosses came particularly valuable for the Grim Reapers. IFCF's inaugural Champions' League victor with 1830 Cathair, where she played for a dozen years, before playing the last two years of her career with hometown St. John's Arsenal. Stayed low-profile since retirement, goes back and forth between Audioslavia and Quebec as a cannabis business executive.

 
Karl Varsteeg - Inducted Cycle 76

''Left Back. 136 caps, 10 goals. World Cups 67-75. Avenida Principal.''

Among the six Quebecois inductees to the Hall of Fame, Karl Varsteeg's probably the least known name out of all of them. Never a flashy figure, which makes sense given the nature of the Quebecois team, Varsteeg's made name for himself with his defensive consistency, height advantage and never leaving the defensive third of the zone. Globe Cup champions with Avenida Principal, where he stayed for most of his career.

===Saint Eleanor===
# {{color box|#3399CC}} First slot [WCQs 89-95]: {{flagicon|Saint Eleanor}} '''Liam West:''' Who else? West not only captained the national team from Baptism of Fire 76 (coincident with WC89) up until his retirement after the 85th Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC93), but played in every single one of those games. Even today, West remains something of a model for aspiring Eleanorian centrebacks, if not footballers in general: mild-mannered, slightly dovish, mentally and physically capable... and always with one eye on non-sporting pursuits. Although brought up in the eastern city - born in Newbanks and raised in Carpentersville - West was always loyal to Independence 1975, Central district's club and - in its heyday - one of the greatest ever Eleanorian club sides. To some controversy, he was somewhat more vocal in their press conferences than in the national team's, where he largely handed off press duty to Bridget Coombe - his successor as captain - or one of the other regular starters. West wrote a regular column for SESB about his team's progress while he was captain, but has long foresworn journalism and is now the duty manager of a corner shop back in Carpentersville, where he lives with his wife Cecilia. 15 Darlington Street, his old house in Central, is now being leased by SEFA to assistant manager Reniira Clevinger. ''Curriculum vitae: EXT player 89Q-93F''
# {{color box|#CCCCCC}} Second slot [WCFs 91, 94, 96, 97]: '''Free space.''' This slot is available now that Saint Eleanor has made its fourth World Cup final tournament, but deliberations as to who is the best-suited nominee are ongoing. ''Curriculum vitae: World-renowned theoretical philosopher''

=== Siovanija & Teusland ===
[[Thorsten Kramer]] (148 caps, 59 goals) - The greatest Goldhorn in history, ''Der Kaiser'' was the first name on the teamsheet for Siovanija & Teusland in the pre-isolation era. Debuting and scoring in the Goldhorns' first-ever game, Kramer's career took him from champion with FC Teussen Stelburg to IFCF Champions' League winner with 1830 Cathair, before a return to his hometown of Stelburg at the end of his career. In between, he captained the Goldhorns to qualification on 4 separate occasions, scoring 3 goals at the World Cup Finals. An attack-minded central midfielder, Kramer defined football in Siovanija & Teusland throughout his career. For his efforts for club and country, he won a Silver Galactico award, and is generally viewed as the greatest athlete in his country's history.

''Trevor Duncan (played WCQ62-WC68, managed WCQ75)'' - One of Super-Llamaland's first great players, the dynamic attacking-midfielder put Super-Llamaland on the map with his well-rounded game. Saw out a great career by helping clinch the Tigers' first-ever World Cup qualification before retiring and briefly serving as national team manager.

''Alex Cartwright (played WCQ68-WC74)'' - A dominant midfielder-turned-striker who in his heyday was one of the best in Esportiva at scoring goals. His career began with the Tigers' first qualification and ended with a triumphant return to the World Cup after a two-cycle drought. Also had a fruitful career with Quebec's Kingston FC in LigAnaia.

''Adrian Lindberg (played WCQ74-WCQ80)'' - Fearless defender and Llamanean captain, as well as a Champion's Cup winner with Real Azuris, Lindberg's leadership, composure, and skill made him a mainstay in Llamanean football for over a decade.

A free agent until Tinhampton's win at the 73rd Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC81), in which her greatest role was scoring the winning goal in their quarterfinal, she secured a move to Crystal Fair HC of the United League on a free transfer, where she remained long after the financial collapse of Tinhampton's FA. After retiring from club football, Evans became the manager of Saint Eleanor, a former Tinhamptonian colony. She spent six-and-a-half cycles on deployment with the White Stars, leading them to the 91st and 94th World Cup final tournaments as well as the 84th Cup of Harmony title (coincident with WC92), before being forced out after the 95th qualifiers following a massive player revolt. ''Curriculum vitae: TIN player 77Q-83Q; EXT manager 89Q-95Q''
# {{color box|#000000}} Second slot: '''Not available yet.''' Tinhampton did not play in any further WCQs nor qualify for any WCFs. It is accordingly unlikely that there will ever be a second slot created.

===Baker Park===
'''Trevor Richmond''' (''Manager'')--guided the National Team to qualification for World Cup 80, on the nation's first attempt; also led the squad to the World Cup Finals in cycle 81 & 82. before stepping aside as the winningest NT boss in history (49 victories in 95 matches) 
'''Pamela Scott''' (''Manager'')--took over for Richmond after WC 82 and led the side to qualification for World Cup 83, continuing on through Baker Park's co-hosting of World Cup 84. Also managed the NT to a runner-up spot in Baptism of Fire 67, the BPNT's first ever WCC tournament. Won 61 of 99 matches in the mixed gender era, placing her first in both categories. 
'''Jamari Bozeman''' (''Player'')--scored 58 times in 118 appearances during the mixed gender era, establishing the record for both categories (although he was later surpassed by Annabeth Westmoreland for most appearances with her 121st cap). Dynamic attacking midfielder who passed up opportunities to move abroad, remaining at Southend AC for his entire career. 
'''[[Annabeth Westmoreland]]''' (''Player'')--All time leader in appearances for the National Team (121), first player from Baker Park named to the Galactico Long and Short List, was most expensive overseas transfer in BP history with $CBP9.5 million move from Middletown City Women to Valanora's Hondo FC.

Gitonga Kahara -''all-time leading scorer for the Banijan national team, all-time caps leader for the national team, World Cup 86 winning captain for the national team''

===Barunia===
Joric Ruskin - Coach (plus ex-captain and war-hero). He has guided the Suns to 7 World Cups, including 3 quarterfinal finishes, their best ever result. He also coached the team to a CoH final. 
Yohan Marris - Barunia's all-time leading goalscorer. He also captained the side for two cycles, which included the Round of 16 in World Cup 68. 
Paul Bainbridge - Famed goalie nicknamed "The Wall". 2nd on Barunia's list of capped players, longest serving captain. He has played in two CoH finals and 5 World Cups.

===Brenecia===
'''Miriam Spitfire''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Left winger. 121 caps, 23 goals. Envy River, FC Brimstone, Guilder.''

One of the Baptism of Fire squad as a young winger, Spitfire was one of the first Brenecians to make a name for herself further abroad than Nephara; specifically, in Apox. A clever, rangy winger who truly elevated what was at the time a fairly agricultural team.

'''Orson Faulkner''' Inducted Cycle 76

''Rightback/centre-half. 126 caps, 7 goals. Northern Union, AC Izotz Zubia.''

A muscular, bruising defender, a slightly late bloomer, and a lion-hearted captain with a knack for only scoring at the time of most need that made him a legendary figure at Zozi. Faulkner was part of the first actually successful generation of Brenecian players, and earned international acclaim for his performances under pressure.

'''Catherine Purrington''' Inducted Cycle 78

''Attacking midfielder. 157 caps, 50 goals. Francisca Orient, Wye United, Vermillion Rage.''

Short, overweight, lazy, exclusively one-footed. Unambitious in her club career. Had a fling with Nephara international Catheline Stockinger. None of this mattered when she was on the pitch and the ball was at her feet, and with a single languid sweep of her chunky left leg she could take it wherever she needed it to go, including the top corner of the net.

'''Ursula Rankin''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 119 caps, 67 goals. FC Endeavour, Wye United, Tanrisal, RGS Athletic.''

Something of a journeywoman striker, Rankin never developed more strings to her bow than just being a poacher and never felt like she needed to. Brenecia's all-time leading goalscorer, the numbers backed her up. When Brenecia played free-flowing Southern football, her runs opened up gaps in defences; when playing the brutalist Northern style, she made the most of scraps.

'''Catherine Gryphon''' Inducted Cycle 81

''Defensive midfielder. 162 caps, 4 goals. Southern Star, FC Brimstone, Northern Union, Starling, Cornellians, Exton FC.''

Never an exciting or dynamic player, but Gryphon reached the top in three different foreign countries, and captained Brenecia to what will likely be its only World Cup. A master of set pieces, but most of her work was just doing the simple things with perfect execution every time.

Val Kylx (A human running gag after leaving Slembana towards international football stardom. Got pretty much nothing of it for a long while until a freak accident saw him end up without a leg: he moved to a managerial career and actually was responsible for getting the Northern Sunrise Islands into the World Cup. One of the few cases of a person inducted by another country but not his own homeland.) 
Namine Nagatomo (Street football product, Namine Nagatomo moved to professional football and soon became a star of Sunrisian football. While not a World Cup champion, her efforts were deemed essential towards the identity of Sunrisian football, and by proxy Hinodejin Football.) 
Hannah Alcouin (The key player on the Unified Sunrisian line-up that won the World Cup back-to-back, known for her amazing offensive play. A half-pokémon, she owned one of the finest World Champion pedigrees possible, including two Under-15 World Cup victories and a very respectable run in the Under-21s.) 
Mellody Sioux (A cat-person goalkeeper that served as the number one option for the position in many Sunrisian line-ups. Her style of goalkeeping has been since adopted by Hinodejin players with questionable success.) 
Nikolai Thorben (The father of Hinodejin football as we know it, responsible for several key additions that turned the game into what it is today in the prosperous empire. He also had a career playing for the Matthew City Senators and the Chromatik national football team and became a household name in the Hinodejin Empire during the off-time where the nation was locked away from the rest of the multiverse.) 
Pokécards (Largely inspired by the PISballs, these were all the rage for a couple of cups but also served as the Sunrisians' second-best contribution to the sport as a whole.) 
Anthony Hawk (Former left-back that also missed the World Cup victories but turned out to become a regular name in the Hinodejin Empire as it rejoined the multiverse, serving as a host of the highly influential Anthony Hawk's Project 8. Also was the butt of several in-jokes.) 
The Diamond Club (The name for the group of masked or unidentified Hinodejin players that served the revived Northern Sunrisian national team before the Hinodejin Empire fully unveiled itself. It featured several high-level officials of the Empire and a former Queen.)

'''Cathy Stokes''' Inducted Cycle 70

''Leftback. 137 caps, 5 goals. AFC Treason.''

Was never among the most talented of the Baptism of Fire squad. However, as a one-club woman and captain of club and country, Stokes' loyalty and resolute determination meant she squeezed out every inch of her skill for the Cormorants for years.

'''Michael Brandon''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Defensive midfielder. 134 caps, 6 goals. Directus.''

Left Nephara at 20 to join Directus, quickly slotting into the first-team picture of one of the multiverse's top sides and spending his entire senior career there. An exceptional midfield general who truly transformed Nephara's image on the international stage from a thuggish backwater to an emergent footballing power.

'''Hadrian Belfast''' Inducted Cycle 74

''Centre-half. 172 caps, 11 goals. Chenoworth Harriers, Sabrefell Athletic, Dwile Warriors, Brookford Otters.''

Still likely Nephara's greatest player. At one stage, he was named Player of the Season in the ANL - at the time the world's best - as the centre-half of the flamboyant attack-minded Dwile Warriors. Played in Nephara's first World Cup finals, aged 23; lifted the CE in his final game, aged 35.

'''Gethin Ramsey''' Inducted Cycle 75

''Managed Nephara through Cycles 64-67. AFC Treason, Cosumar, the Licentian Isles.''

A hard-bitten manager whose insatiable lust for trophies set the tone for Nepharim glory, heading an almost dizzying early period of success for a 'new' national team. Managed the likely unparalleled feat of taking three nations - Nephara, Cosumar and the Licentian Isles - to the World Cup.

'''Elaine Ashdown''' Inducted Cycle 77

''Central midfielder. 155 caps, 50 goals. Iron City, Brinemouth, Hastmead Diamante, Iron City.''

A tall, elegant and cultured midfielder, Ashdown was another player who never fit the stereotypical Nepharim mould. Notoriously slow, but the ball, after all, was round, and especially lethal from set pieces. Ashdown was a true marshal of the midfield, who captained Nephara to the World Cup with understated leadership.

'''Penumbra Amokachi''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 116 caps, 65 goals. Brinemouth, Mâ Âlâmëómë, Eastweald, Coret Hawks.''

Top scorer and self-styled philosopher queen of the 74 champions, the mercurial Amokachi was Nephara's leading goalscorer at the time of her international retirement being curtailed by a falling-out with management. Somehow, this only improved her image as Nephara's spectacular Roman candle.

'''Adnan Szalai''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Right winger. 129 caps, 40 goals. Aries Chariots, Gwinevra Barbarians, Ulsa.''

Szalai came from the very dregs to shine. Widely rumoured to be illiterate, he was Nephara's best player en route to the World Cup, and that only propelled his career forward to greater and greater heights. Szalai has the distinction of being named the first Boldsport Galactico, the best player in the world in the eyes of a neutral third-party agency.

'''Estrella Hawke''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Striker. 150 caps, 91 goals. Starling, Sabrefell Athletic, Directus.''

Athletic, powerful, lethal in front of goal, and nobody in the game has a single bad word to say about her. Hawke's goalscoring record for the national team will probably never be beaten. Spent an all-conquering career on top of both the international scene and club football in Nephara and Eura.

===Independent Athletes from Quebec===
Ondrej Cech - Inducted Cycle 85

''Goalkeeper. 113 caps, World Cups 69-77. Turoki Tide.''

 

Leonardo Conavacio - Inducted Cycle 90

''Striker/Right Wing. 121 caps, 71 goals. World Cups 68-77. Alianza FC, Port Sebastian.''

A Wanderer who eventually found peace with Alianza FC and Port Sebastian, Leonardo Conavacio was a dynamic forward whose values as player only got higher over time. Excellent dribbler with flair, aggressiveness and remarkable ceremonies, Conavacio was one player who consistently frustrated opponents and fans alike, and his ability to score in crucial matches, most notably the penalty goal that propelled the Grim Reapers to their only semifinals appearance in his final World Cup, gave him a higher profile than one his role with both Alianza and the Grim Reapers - that being a second striker - would have gotten. Always a hard worker whose controversies (biting incidents on Liga-Premier matches, repeatedly calling for death of Gary Corsie at times, etc) shadowed his work ethic, he went onto have a good career as manager, currently managing Eterna Stars and the HUElavian national team after long stints with Manechester City (associate manager) and Haligonian.

 

Zachary Fortin - Inducted Cycle 76

''Striker. 150 caps, 101 goals. World Cups 65-75. Montreal Koreana, Marinos Metropolis.''

Remarkably well-paced, with immaculate scoring touch and humble attitude, Zachary Fortin was the player whose all-aroundedness and goalscoring record earned the respect of everybody and continues to draw unanimous approval as the greatest Quebecois footballer to have ever played. Barring improvements of the Quebecois national team's forms, which would give Kate Huitema-Omeasoo or Zinaida Woodcarver a genuine chance, it is unlikely his goalscoring record will break. Superstar who led Marinos Metropolis to back-to-back Champions' Cup and Cup Winners' Cup victories, a feat that has not been achieved by a Quebecois player either.

 
Sir. Lionel Mah - Inducted Cycle 88

''Manager. World Cups 76-80, 85-86. CSKA Quebec, Schottian national team, Willox Street Pirates, Quebecois national team.''

A hard-nosed manager with tactical acumen and no-nonsense approach towards players, Sir. Lionel's excellence was recognised both at home and abroad, and on both domestic and international football. Managed the Schottian national team that was stuck in a limbo to a remarkable decade under his direction, with 2nd place in the Cup of Harmony 68, Quarterfinals and 3rd place finish in the World Cups 77 and 78, before winning it all with Schottia in the World Cup 79, recognised by many as one of the most dominant sides of all time. After his stints with CSKA and Willox Street Pirates, he then returned to international football, where he brought his native Quebec to qualify for the World Cup 86 at 72 years of age.

 
Hazel van Robben - Inducted Cycle 85

''Striker/Right Wing. 112 caps, 51 goals. World Cups 69-77, 85. St. John's Arsenal, Magnaeus City, CD FAS, 1830 Cathair.''

Probably the most electric footballer Quebec and Shingoryeo's ever had, with the iconic status of the player that came with her speed, goal ceremonies, potty mouth. Multi-time golden boot winner in the LigAnaia: Nord and Liga-Premier whose goalscoring talent stayed into all her career, she was happy to play on the right wing, where her speed and crosses came particularly valuable for the Grim Reapers. IFCF's inaugural Champions' League victor with 1830 Cathair, where she played for a dozen years, before playing the last two years of her career with hometown St. John's Arsenal. Stayed low-profile since retirement, goes back and forth between Audioslavia and Quebec as a cannabis business executive.

 
Karl Varsteeg - Inducted Cycle 76

''Left Back. 136 caps, 10 goals. World Cups 67-75. Avenida Principal.''

Among the six Quebecois inductees to the Hall of Fame, Karl Varsteeg's probably the least known name out of all of them. Never a flashy figure, which makes sense given the nature of the Quebecois team, Varsteeg's made name for himself with his defensive consistency, height advantage and never leaving the defensive third of the zone. Globe Cup champions with Avenida Principal, where he stayed for most of his career.

# {{color box|#3399CC}} First slot [WCQs 89-95]: {{flagicon|Saint Eleanor}} '''Liam West:''' Who else? West not only captained the national team from Baptism of Fire 76 (coincident with WC89) up until his retirement after the 85th Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC93), but played in every single one of those games. Even today, West remains something of a model for aspiring Eleanorian centrebacks, if not footballers in general: mild-mannered, slightly dovish, mentally and physically capable... and always with one eye on non-sporting pursuits. Although brought up in the eastern city - born in Newbanks and raised in Carpentersville - West was always loyal to Independence 1975, Central district's club and - in its heyday - one of the greatest ever Eleanorian club sides. To some controversy, he was somewhat more vocal in their press conferences than in the national team's, where he largely handed off press duty to Bridget Coombe - his successor as captain - or one of the other regular starters. West wrote a regular column for SESB about his team's progress while he was captain, but has long foresworn journalism and is now the duty manager of a corner shop back in Carpentersville, where he lives with his wife Cecilia. 15 Darlington Street, his old house in Central, is now being leased by SEFA to assistant manager Reniira Clevinger.

''Trevor Duncan (played WCQ62-WC68, managed WCQ75)'' - One of Super-Llamaland's first great players, the dynamic attacking-midfielder put Super-Llamaland on the map with his well-rounded game. Saw out a great career by helping clinch the Tigers' first-ever World Cup qualification before retiring and briefly serving as national team manager.

''Alex Cartwright (played WCQ68-WC74)'' - A dominant midfielder-turned-striker who in his heyday was one of the best in Esportiva at scoring goals. His career began with the Tigers' first qualification and ended with a triumphant return to the World Cup after a two-cycle drought. Also had a fruitful career with Quebec's Kingston FC in LigAnaia.

''Adrian Lindberg (played WCQ74-WCQ80)'' - Fearless defender and Llamanean captain, as well as a Champion's Cup winner with Real Azuris, Lindberg's leadership, composure, and skill made him a mainstay in Llamanean football for over a decade.

# {{color box|#B19484}} First slot [WCQs 77-83]: {{flagicon|Tinhampton}} '''Priscilla Evans:''' A Tinhampton City season ticket holder who won the draw to appear in Tinhampton's first ever World Cup team, Evans was never the captain - that accolade going first to the erstwhile Ian Jones then to the slightly less-than-erstwhile Julia Atherton - but she was certainly their most famous player; an agile, understated, stunningly efficient, and mostly eminently reasonable striker. A free agent until Tinhampton's win at the 73rd Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC81), in which her greatest role was scoring the winning goal in their quarterfinal, she secured a move to Crystal Fair HC of the United League on a free transfer, where she remained long after the financial collapse of Tinhampton's FA. After retiring from club football, Evans became the manager of Saint Eleanor, a former Tinhamptonian colony. She spent six-and-a-half cycles on deployment with the White Stars, leading them to the 91st and 94th World Cup final tournaments as well as the 84th Cup of Harmony title (coincident with WC92), before being forced out after the 95th qualifiers following a massive player revolt. ''Curriculum vitae: TIN player 77Q-83Q; EXT manager 89Q-95Q''
# {{color box|#000000}} Second slot: '''Not available yet.''' Tinhampton did not play in any further WCQs nor qualify for any WCFs. It is accordingly unlikely that there will ever be a second slot created.

The '''NationStates World Cup''' is the multiverse's longest-running recurring sporting event, dating back to the first half of 2003. Nations from around the NS world at all sorts of different technology levels play football (also known as 'soccer' or 'Association football') for the ultimate glory of becoming World Champions. The competition is governed and organized by the World Cup Committee (WCC), which is formed by the participating football associations.

Each World Cup cycle consists of three related tournaments: the World Cup itself, the [[Baptism of Fire]] held prior to the beginning of World Cup qualification for first-time entrants, and the [[Cup of Harmony]] to which nations not qualifying for the World Cup finals may enter by invitation. Matches in these WCC-sanctioned tournaments count towards a nation's [[KPB ranking system|KPB ranking]].

==Procedure==
===Qualifying===
Each World Cup since [[World Cup 3]] has begun with a qualifying stage. Historically, anywhere from approximately fifty to two hundred nations enter qualifying in any given cycle. These nations are then seeded based on their [[KPB ranking system|KPB rank]] and then divided into qualifying groups of (usually) equal size. All teams in a qualifying group play each other twice, once at home, once away; this ''seeded double-round-robin format'' was first used in [[World Cup 7]] and has been used for all World Cup qualifiers since.

After all matches have been played, thirty qualifiers are determined based on placement in their groups. The first criterion for placement is the number of ''points'' earned (three for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss). Each host committee determines further tiebreakers, usually ''goal difference'' (the number of goals conceded subtracted from the number of goals scored) or ''head-to-head results'' between the tied teams. In almost all situations, this is enough to resolve any tie. In some cases, playoffs are scheduled as part of the qualifying phase; although this is required when the number of groups is not a factor of 30, that being the number of teams that qualify, some World Cups with fifteen qualifying groups - such as the [[World Cup 80|80th]], [[World Cup 91|91st]] and [[World Cup 92|92nd]] World Cups - have required the second- and third-placed teams in each group to enter playoffs. [[World Cup 54]] saw the use of a two-staged qualifying phase, where 30 "zonal" groups fed into 10 "interzonal" groups of 6, but this format is not common.

===World Cup===
The thirty qualifiers in addition to the two host nations advance to play in the World Cup proper. (Although all World Cups have consisted of 32 teams as of [[World Cup 92]], a constitutional amendment was passed prior to the competition's 91st running to clarify that "[i]t will always consist of '''at least''' 32 teams.") The first round (or the ''group stage'', as it is also known) is made up of eight groups of four nations. Routinely, four of these groups play in one host nation, while the other four groups compete in the second. Each nation in a group plays each other nation in that group once. The top two nations in each group advance to the second round.

Again, tiebreakers may be used here; in exceptional cases, there may be a playoff match, as in [[World Cup 12]], when [[Timway]] beat [[Liverpool England]] 2-1, or drawing of lots, as in [[World Cup 39]] where all four teams in one group finished with an identical record. In recent cycles, an in-character coin-toss - or, in out-of-character terms, a match between the deadlocked teams scorinated using only their respective roleplay bonuses - has increasingly gained favour among hosts; the most recent example of this was at [[World Cup 91]], where Farfadillis topped Group E at the expense of Pasarga after winning the coin-toss.

Beginning with the second round (also known as the ''round of sixteen''), a single-elimination format is used. The exception to this is in the semifinals, as the two losing nations in the semifinals still move on to face off in the third-place playoff.

===Scorination===
Results are determined by using a [[scorinate|scorinator]] of some sort. Excel spreadsheets were historically the most common method, and used for ten of the first twelve World Cups. The [[World Cup 13]] co-host [[Rejistania]] created a scorinator in Java, then only known as wc13.java; this would form the basis of [[Leagion]], which would be used for a number of subsequent World Cups. Around the same time, [[Bedistan]] was developing another scorinator, [[NSFootySim]], which used XML as its input language; unlike Leagion, this scorinator featured a graphical user interface, and as such became more popular. Today, the most common scorinator for the World Cup is [[xkoranate]], which supports multiple formulae for association football scorination, such as [[SQIS]] and [[Footba11er]] as well as NSFS.

The primary influence on the results is the rank of each nation, though ''roleplay bonus and [[Margaret|sheer randomness]]'' can also have moderate effects. The exact influence of each depends on the formula used and the extent to which hosts wish to emphasise it, and hence varies between World Cups.

==History==
Upon its institution by [[Ariddia]], there was no qualifying stage and no ranking system, in the World Cup, and match results were determined merely by rolls of the dice. Minor alterations were made to the dice-rolling formula for the second World Cup in [[Alasdair I Frosticus|The Holy Empire]]. [[Total n Utter Insanity]] initiated the move away from dice in [[World Cup 3]], and match results were now generated by Excel spreadsheets with, moreover, a qualifying stage appended to the system. This supplementation enabled more nations to participate at any given time, though to this day only thirty-two attain entrance to the World Cup proper. After ''qualifiers'' were introduced, the host(s) of the Cup, in addition to the few highest-ranked nations, automatically participated without need of qualification. Beginning in [[World Cup 7]], this too was modified, and thus only the inherent qualification of the host nation(s) prevailed.

In [[World Cup 9]], the [[roleplay bonus]] was introduced. The [[KPB ranking system]] was introduced for [[World Cup 12]], and remained in use until it was replaced by the [[World Rankings]] just prior to [[World Cup 97]].

==Hosting==
===World Cup Committee===
The World Cup Committee (WCC) governs the creation of the World Cup tournament and oversees its binding laws. The committee serves four key roles, namely to:
*elect World Cup host nations,
*elect [[Cup of Harmony]] host nations,
*nominate and elect WCC presidents, and
*propose and vote on amendments to the WCC Constitution.
Nations gain admission to the WCC if they have signed up for, and submitted a full roster to, two consecutive World Cups ''before the end of those World Cups' group stages''. This does not guarantee permanent admission, and nations must continue to follow this process for each Cup.

The World Cup Committee president is elected after every third Cup by WCC members and serves for a three-Cup cycle. The president calls for nominations and votes for the hosts of all three WCC tournaments and constitutional amendment votes. The nation that is chosen to serve in this position generally is a long-standing member of the international community and has significant experience as a host and participant.

===Executive World Cup Committee===
The Executive World Cup Committee (EWCC) is made up of representatives from all existing nations that have hosted a World Cup. These nations are well-acquainted with the ins and outs of a World Cup cycle, and thus provide most of the discussion and ideas for World Cup reform. The committee role is to elect hosts for the [[Baptism of Fire]]. The Baptism of Fire tournament is critical to instructing and retaining new participants, which requires capable, trusted hosts; this suits EWCC members' extra expertise and experience over WCC members.

==Records==
''These facts may not necessarily be up to date by the time you read this. Please refer to NSWC Signups' factbook on World Cup [https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=773445 Facts and Records.]''

By defeating Liverpool England in the Semi-Final of [[World Cup 17]], [[Dance 2 Revolution]] became the first post-KPB team (a nation that has only competed in the World Cup since the official use of KPB ranks began in [[World Cup 12]]) to make the final. Dance 2 Revolution became the first post-KPB team to finish in the top 3 in two separate cups by beating Total n Utter Insanity in the [[World Cup 19]] 3rd-Placing Match. Dance 2 Revolution's World Cup 19 spotlight was quickly stolen by [[Crystilakere]], who went down in history as the first post-KPB nation to unseat the veterans and win the World Cup. Crystilakere's World Cup 19 win was vacated during cycle 95 following the [[Vilita puppet incident]], which is the only time a World Cup title has been removed from the record books.

[[Starblaydia]], [[Valanora]], and [[Vilita]] currently hold the record for most World Cups won (five). [[The Holy Empire]] holds the record for most appearances in the final with nine. Additionally, [[Capitalizt SLANI]] claims to inherit Bedistan’s records (after the destruction of Bedistan's football association but before the nation ceased to exist, Bedistani footballers played for Capitalizt SLANI), but this is not generally recognized. [[Audioslavia]] currently hold the record for most losses in the final match, with five ([[World Cup 12|WC12]], [[World Cup 19|WC19]], [[World Cup 20|WC20]], [[World Cup 29|WC29]], and [[World Cup 67|WC67]]); the first four of these came before their first victory, in [[World Cup 63|WC63]]. Thirty nations have made an appearance in the final more than once; of those, five have lost on each occasion.

The [[World Cup 22]] final will go down in history as one of the most unexpected finals ever, with both nations outside the top 10 in rankings prior to the finals. It has been suggested that the winning scoreline of 4-0 to [[Sarzonia]] against [[Oaker]] (Who had their runners-up spot later vacated because of the Vilita puppet incident) the biggest ever in a World Cup final; this was bested by [[Capitalizt SLANI]]'s 5-0 win against [[Milchama]] in the [[World Cup 39]] final, with the current record being held by Valanora's 7-1 demolishing of [[The Sylvanaes Queendom]] in the [[World Cup 61]] final on the Eternal Empire's home soil.

Rejistania's victory in the final of [[World Cup 23|WC23]] ended a run of three consecutive victories for sides from the [[Atlantian Oceania]] region ([[Vilita]] - WC20, Bedistan - [[World Cup 21|WC21]], Sarzonia, WC22), though AO was back on top again in [[World Cup 25]] with [[Starblaydia]]. There had not been a Final without an AO nation appearing in it since World Cup 18 until [[World Cup 31|WC31]], when [[Squornshelous]] & [[New Montreal States]] competed in the final. This also broke a 6 World Cup winning streak for Atlantian Oceania.

The record for the most goals in a World Cup match (qualifying or finals) is 15, in Bedistan's 8-7 defeat of Vilita in [[World Cup 21]]; this was tied in the qualifying stages of [[World Cup 55]], when [[Qlumez]] defeated [[Syracusse]] 10-5. The record winning margin in a World Cup match is 14, in [[Bears Armed]]' 14-0 defeat of [[Peisandros]] in [[World Cup 56]] qualification. More information on these games is available [https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=37224331#p37224331 here].

The final top-three finishing nations in [[World Cup 27]] were also the three previous Cup Winners: Bedistan ([[World Cup 26]] champions), [[Liverpool England]] ([[World Cup 24]] champions) and Starblaydia ([[World Cup 25]] champions). These were, coincidentally, also the top three finishers in [[World Cup 28]] and [[World Cup 30]]. None of these teams, however, got past the quarter-finals at [[World Cup 29]].

===World rankings===
Originally, the NSWC rankings were determined purely on finishing position in the previous Cup. The defending champions would be ranked first, the team with the best record in qualifying that failed to qualify would be 33rd, etc. During [[World Cup 9]], the WCC determined that a new ranking system was needed, but it took a while to come to a consensus. [[World Cup 11]] used the [[Roleplay ranks|RPR]] system. The majority of the World Cup community disliked that approach, mainly because Total n Utter Insanity failed to explain it and because its implementation tended to have discouraging effects for new nations. Starting with [[World Cup 12]], the [[KPB ranking system]] developed by [[Kaze Progressa]] with modifications from [[Bedistan]] was officially incorporated. KPB ranking takes into account the past three World Cups and the associated tournaments Cup of Harmony and Baptism of Fire.

The Empire of Vilita became the first to control two nations inside the top 10 of the KPB rankings at the conclusion of [[World Cup 19]]. The Emirate of [[Turori]], a colony of Vilita, lost in the quarterfinals of World Cup 19 to eventual runners-up Audioslavia, but their performance as first time hosts earned them a place in the top 10 for the first time, joining their rulers, Vilita. After Vilita won [[World Cup 20]] and Turori made the quarterfinals, the two remained in the top 10 for their third and second consecutive cups respectively, eventually doing one better as both nations found themselves ranked in the top 5, at 2nd and 4th in the list. Other times a nation and their puppet have both been in the top ten include [[Valanora]] and [[Demot]], Valanora and [[Pasarga]], and [[The Archregimancy]] and [[The Holy Empire]].

===Baker Park===
'''Trevor Richmond''' (''Manager'')--guided the National Team to qualification for World Cup 80, on the nation's first attempt; also led the squad to the World Cup Finals in cycle 81 & 82. before stepping aside as the winningest NT boss in history (49 victories in 95 matches) 
'''Pamela Scott''' (''Manager'')--took over for Richmond after WC 82 and led the side to qualification for World Cup 83, continuing on through Baker Park's co-hosting of World Cup 84. Also managed the NT to a runner-up spot in Baptism of Fire 67, the BPNT's first ever WCC tournament. Won 61 of 99 matches in the mixed gender era, placing her first in both categories. 
'''Jamari Bozeman''' (''Player'')--scored 58 times in 118 appearances during the mixed gender era, establishing the record for both categories (although he was later surpassed by Annabeth Westmoreland for most appearances with her 121st cap). Dynamic attacking midfielder who passed up opportunities to move abroad, remaining at Southend AC for his entire career. 
'''[[Annabeth Westmoreland]]''' (''Player'')--All time leader in appearances for the National Team (121), first player from Baker Park named to the Galactico Long and Short List, was most expensive overseas transfer in BP history with $CBP9.5 million move from Middletown City Women to Valanora's Hondo FC.

===Banija===

Adama Sowe -''former Chairman of the RBSA, present Vice President of the World Cup Committee, member of the IFCF Executive Council'') 
Gitonga Kahara -''all-time leading scorer for the Banijan national team, all-time caps leader for the national team, World Cup 86 winning captain for the national team''

===Barunia===
Joric Ruskin - Coach (plus ex-captain and war-hero). He has guided the Suns to 7 World Cups, including 3 quarterfinal finishes, their best ever result. He also coached the team to a CoH final. 
Yohan Marris - Barunia's all-time leading goalscorer. He also captained the side for two cycles, which included the Round of 16 in World Cup 68. 
Paul Bainbridge - Famed goalie nicknamed "The Wall". 2nd on Barunia's list of capped players, longest serving captain. He has played in two CoH finals and 5 World Cups.

===Brazillico===
Esteban De Jesus
===Brenecia===
'''Miriam Spitfire''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Left winger. 121 caps, 23 goals. Envy River, FC Brimstone, Guilder.''

One of the Baptism of Fire squad as a young winger, Spitfire was one of the first Brenecians to make a name for herself further abroad than Nephara; specifically, in Apox. A clever, rangy winger who truly elevated what was at the time a fairly agricultural team.

'''Orson Faulkner''' Inducted Cycle 76

''Rightback/centre-half. 126 caps, 7 goals. Northern Union, AC Izotz Zubia.''

A muscular, bruising defender, a slightly late bloomer, and a lion-hearted captain with a knack for only scoring at the time of most need that made him a legendary figure at Zozi. Faulkner was part of the first actually successful generation of Brenecian players, and earned international acclaim for his performances under pressure.

'''Catherine Purrington''' Inducted Cycle 78

''Attacking midfielder. 157 caps, 50 goals. Francisca Orient, Wye United, Vermillion Rage.''

Short, overweight, lazy, exclusively one-footed. Unambitious in her club career. Had a fling with Nephara international Catheline Stockinger. None of this mattered when she was on the pitch and the ball was at her feet, and with a single languid sweep of her chunky left leg she could take it wherever she needed it to go, including the top corner of the net.

'''Ursula Rankin''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 119 caps, 67 goals. FC Endeavour, Wye United, Tanrisal, RGS Athletic.''

Something of a journeywoman striker, Rankin never developed more strings to her bow than just being a poacher and never felt like she needed to. Brenecia's all-time leading goalscorer, the numbers backed her up. When Brenecia played free-flowing Southern football, her runs opened up gaps in defences; when playing the brutalist Northern style, she made the most of scraps.

'''Catherine Gryphon''' Inducted Cycle 81

''Defensive midfielder. 162 caps, 4 goals. Southern Star, FC Brimstone, Northern Union, Starling, Cornellians, Exton FC.''

Never an exciting or dynamic player, but Gryphon reached the top in three different foreign countries, and captained Brenecia to what will likely be its only World Cup. A master of set pieces, but most of her work was just doing the simple things with perfect execution every time.

Val Kylx (A human running gag after leaving Slembana towards international football stardom. Got pretty much nothing of it for a long while until a freak accident saw him end up without a leg: he moved to a managerial career and actually was responsible for getting the Northern Sunrise Islands into the World Cup. One of the few cases of a person inducted by another country but not his own homeland.) 
Namine Nagatomo (Street football product, Namine Nagatomo moved to professional football and soon became a star of Sunrisian football. While not a World Cup champion, her efforts were deemed essential towards the identity of Sunrisian football, and by proxy Hinodejin Football.) 
Hannah Alcouin (The key player on the Unified Sunrisian line-up that won the World Cup back-to-back, known for her amazing offensive play. A half-pokémon, she owned one of the finest World Champion pedigrees possible, including two Under-15 World Cup victories and a very respectable run in the Under-21s.) 
Mellody Sioux (A cat-person goalkeeper that served as the number one option for the position in many Sunrisian line-ups. Her style of goalkeeping has been since adopted by Hinodejin players with questionable success.) 
Nikolai Thorben (The father of Hinodejin football as we know it, responsible for several key additions that turned the game into what it is today in the prosperous empire. He also had a career playing for the Matthew City Senators and the Chromatik national football team and became a household name in the Hinodejin Empire during the off-time where the nation was locked away from the rest of the multiverse.) 
Pokécards (Largely inspired by the PISballs, these were all the rage for a couple of cups but also served as the Sunrisians' second-best contribution to the sport as a whole.) 
Anthony Hawk (Former left-back that also missed the World Cup victories but turned out to become a regular name in the Hinodejin Empire as it rejoined the multiverse, serving as a host of the highly influential Anthony Hawk's Project 8. Also was the butt of several in-jokes.) 
The Diamond Club (The name for the group of masked or unidentified Hinodejin players that served the revived Northern Sunrisian national team before the Hinodejin Empire fully unveiled itself. It featured several high-level officials of the Empire and a former Queen.)

===Nephara===
'''Cathy Stokes''' Inducted Cycle 70

''Leftback. 137 caps, 5 goals. AFC Treason.''

Was never among the most talented of the Baptism of Fire squad. However, as a one-club woman and captain of club and country, Stokes' loyalty and resolute determination meant she squeezed out every inch of her skill for the Cormorants for years.

'''Michael Brandon''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Defensive midfielder. 134 caps, 6 goals. Directus.''

Left Nephara at 20 to join Directus, quickly slotting into the first-team picture of one of the multiverse's top sides and spending his entire senior career there. An exceptional midfield general who truly transformed Nephara's image on the international stage from a thuggish backwater to an emergent footballing power.

'''Hadrian Belfast''' Inducted Cycle 74

''Centre-half. 172 caps, 11 goals. Chenoworth Harriers, Sabrefell Athletic, Dwile Warriors, Brookford Otters.''

Still likely Nephara's greatest player. At one stage, he was named Player of the Season in the ANL - at the time the world's best - as the centre-half of the flamboyant attack-minded Dwile Warriors. Played in Nephara's first World Cup finals, aged 23; lifted the CE in his final game, aged 35.

'''Gethin Ramsey''' Inducted Cycle 75

''Managed Nephara through Cycles 64-67. AFC Treason, Cosumar, the Licentian Isles.''

A hard-bitten manager whose insatiable lust for trophies set the tone for Nepharim glory, heading an almost dizzying early period of success for a 'new' national team. Managed the likely unparalleled feat of taking three nations - Nephara, Cosumar and the Licentian Isles - to the World Cup.

'''Elaine Ashdown''' Inducted Cycle 77

''Central midfielder. 155 caps, 50 goals. Iron City, Brinemouth, Hastmead Diamante, Iron City.''

A tall, elegant and cultured midfielder, Ashdown was another player who never fit the stereotypical Nepharim mould. Notoriously slow, but the ball, after all, was round, and especially lethal from set pieces. Ashdown was a true marshal of the midfield, who captained Nephara to the World Cup with understated leadership.

'''Penumbra Amokachi''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 116 caps, 65 goals. Brinemouth, Mâ Âlâmëómë, Eastweald, Coret Hawks.''

Top scorer and self-styled philosopher queen of the 74 champions, the mercurial Amokachi was Nephara's leading goalscorer at the time of her international retirement being curtailed by a falling-out with management. Somehow, this only improved her image as Nephara's spectacular Roman candle.

'''Adnan Szalai''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Right winger. 129 caps, 40 goals. Aries Chariots, Gwinevra Barbarians, Ulsa.''

Szalai came from the very dregs to shine. Widely rumoured to be illiterate, he was Nephara's best player en route to the World Cup, and that only propelled his career forward to greater and greater heights. Szalai has the distinction of being named the first Boldsport Galactico, the best player in the world in the eyes of a neutral third-party agency.

'''Estrella Hawke''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Striker. 150 caps, 91 goals. Starling, Sabrefell Athletic, Directus.''

Athletic, powerful, lethal in front of goal, and nobody in the game has a single bad word to say about her. Hawke's goalscoring record for the national team will probably never be beaten. Spent an all-conquering career on top of both the international scene and club football in Nephara and Eura.

===Quakmybush===

Jon Fields Sr.

===Independent Athletes from Quebec===
Ondrej Cech - Inducted Cycle 85

''Goalkeeper. 113 caps, World Cups 69-77. Turoki Tide.''

 

Leonardo Conavacio - Inducted Cycle 90

''Striker/Right Wing. 121 caps, 71 goals. World Cups 68-77. Alianza FC, Port Sebastian.''

A Wanderer who eventually found peace with Alianza FC and Port Sebastian, Leonardo Conavacio was a dynamic forward whose values as player only got higher over time. Excellent dribbler with flair, aggressiveness and remarkable ceremonies, Conavacio was one player who consistently frustrated opponents and fans alike, and his ability to score in crucial matches, most notably the penalty goal that propelled the Grim Reapers to their only semifinals appearance in his final World Cup, gave him a higher profile than one his role with both Alianza and the Grim Reapers - that being a second striker - would have gotten. Always a hard worker whose controversies (biting incidents on Liga-Premier matches, repeatedly calling for death of Gary Corsie at times, etc) shadowed his work ethic, he went onto have a good career as manager, currently managing Eterna Stars and the HUElavian national team after long stints with Manechester City (associate manager) and Haligonian.

 

Zachary Fortin - Inducted Cycle 76

''Striker. 150 caps, 101 goals. World Cups 65-75. Montreal Koreana, Marinos Metropolis.''

Remarkably well-paced, with immaculate scoring touch and humble attitude, Zachary Fortin was the player whose all-aroundedness and goalscoring record earned the respect of everybody and continues to draw unanimous approval as the greatest Quebecois footballer to have ever played. Barring improvements of the Quebecois national team's forms, which would give Kate Huitema-Omeasoo or Zinaida Woodcarver a genuine chance, it is unlikely his goalscoring record will break. Superstar who led Marinos Metropolis to back-to-back Champions' Cup and Cup Winners' Cup victories, a feat that has not been achieved by a Quebecois player either.

 
Sir. Lionel Mah - Inducted Cycle 88

''Manager. World Cups 76-80, 85-86. CSKA Quebec, Schottian national team, Willox Street Pirates, Quebecois national team.''

A hard-nosed manager with tactical acumen and no-nonsense approach towards players, Sir. Lionel's excellence was recognised both at home and abroad, and on both domestic and international football. Managed the Schottian national team that was stuck in a limbo to a remarkable decade under his direction, with 2nd place in the Cup of Harmony 68, Quarterfinals and 3rd place finish in the World Cups 77 and 78, before winning it all with Schottia in the World Cup 79, recognised by many as one of the most dominant sides of all time. After his stints with CSKA and Willox Street Pirates, he then returned to international football, where he brought his native Quebec to qualify for the World Cup 86 at 72 years of age.

 
Hazel van Robben - Inducted Cycle 85

''Striker/Right Wing. 112 caps, 51 goals. World Cups 69-77, 85. St. John's Arsenal, Magnaeus City, CD FAS, 1830 Cathair.''

Probably the most electric footballer Quebec and Shingoryeo's ever had, with the iconic status of the player that came with her speed, goal ceremonies, potty mouth. Multi-time golden boot winner in the LigAnaia: Nord and Liga-Premier whose goalscoring talent stayed into all her career, she was happy to play on the right wing, where her speed and crosses came particularly valuable for the Grim Reapers. IFCF's inaugural Champions' League victor with 1830 Cathair, where she played for a dozen years, before playing the last two years of her career with hometown St. John's Arsenal. Stayed low-profile since retirement, goes back and forth between Audioslavia and Quebec as a cannabis business executive.

 
Karl Varsteeg - Inducted Cycle 76

''Left Back. 136 caps, 10 goals. World Cups 67-75. Avenida Principal.''

Among the six Quebecois inductees to the Hall of Fame, Karl Varsteeg's probably the least known name out of all of them. Never a flashy figure, which makes sense given the nature of the Quebecois team, Varsteeg's made name for himself with his defensive consistency, height advantage and never leaving the defensive third of the zone. Globe Cup champions with Avenida Principal, where he stayed for most of his career.

# {{color box|#3399CC}} First slot [WCQs 89-95]: {{flagicon|Saint Eleanor}} '''Liam West:''' Who else? West not only captained the national team from Baptism of Fire 76 (coincident with WC89) up until his retirement after the 85th Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC93), but played in every single one of those games. Even today, West remains something of a model for aspiring Eleanorian centrebacks, if not footballers in general: mild-mannered, slightly dovish, mentally and physically capable... and always with one eye on non-sporting pursuits. Although brought up in the eastern city - born in Newbanks and raised in Carpentersville - West was always loyal to Independence 1975, Central district's club and - in its heyday - one of the greatest ever Eleanorian club sides. To some controversy, he was somewhat more vocal in their press conferences than in the national team's, where he largely handed off press duty to Bridget Coombe - his successor as captain - or one of the other regular starters. West wrote a regular column for SESB about his team's progress while he was captain, but has long foresworn journalism and is now the duty manager of a corner shop back in Carpentersville, where he lives with his wife Cecilia. 15 Darlington Street, his old house in Central, is now being leased by SEFA to assistant manager Reniira Clevinger.

Saw out a great career by helping clinch the Tigers' first-ever World Cup qualification before retiring and briefly serving as national team manager.

''Alex Cartwright (played WCQ68-WC74)'' - A dominant midfielder-turned-striker who in his heyday was one of the best in Esportiva at scoring goals. His career began with the Tigers' first qualification and ended with a triumphant return to the World Cup after a two-cycle drought. Also had a fruitful career with Quebec's Kingston FC in LigAnaia.

''Adrian Lindberg (played WCQ74-WCQ80)'' - Fearless defender and Llamanean captain, as well as a Champion's Cup winner with Real Azuris, Lindberg's leadership, composure, and skill made him a mainstay in Llamanean football for over a decade.

A free agent until Tinhampton's win at the 73rd Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC81), in which her greatest role was scoring the winning goal in their quarterfinal, she secured a move to Crystal Fair HC of the United League on a free transfer, where she remained long after the financial collapse of Tinhampton's FA. After retiring from club football, Evans became the manager of Saint Eleanor, a former Tinhamptonian colony. She spent six-and-a-half cycles on deployment with the White Stars, leading them to the 91st and 94th World Cup final tournaments as well as the 84th Cup of Harmony title (coincident with WC92), before being forced out after the 95th qualifiers following a massive player revolt.

'''Trevor Richmond''' (''Manager'')--guided the National Team to qualification for World Cup 80, on the nation's first attempt; also led the squad to the World Cup Finals in cycle 81 & 82. before stepping aside as the winningest NT boss in history (49 victories in 95 matches) 
'''Pamela Scott''' (''Manager'')--took over for Richmond after WC 82 and led the side to qualification for World Cup 83, continuing on through Baker Park's co-hosting of World Cup 84.

===Brenecia===
'''Miriam Spitfire''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Left winger. 121 caps, 23 goals. Envy River, FC Brimstone, Guilder.''

One of the Baptism of Fire squad as a young winger, Spitfire was one of the first Brenecians to make a name for herself further abroad than Nephara; specifically, in Apox. A clever, rangy winger who truly elevated what was at the time a fairly agricultural team.

'''Orson Faulkner''' Inducted Cycle 76

''Rightback/centre-half. 126 caps, 7 goals. Northern Union, AC Izotz Zubia.''

A muscular, bruising defender, a slightly late bloomer, and a lion-hearted captain with a knack for only scoring at the time of most need that made him a legendary figure at Zozi. Faulkner was part of the first actually successful generation of Brenecian players, and earned international acclaim for his performances under pressure.

'''Catherine Purrington''' Inducted Cycle 78

''Attacking midfielder. 157 caps, 50 goals. Francisca Orient, Wye United, Vermillion Rage.''

Short, overweight, lazy, exclusively one-footed. Unambitious in her club career. Had a fling with Nephara international Catheline Stockinger. None of this mattered when she was on the pitch and the ball was at her feet, and with a single languid sweep of her chunky left leg she could take it wherever she needed it to go, including the top corner of the net.

'''Ursula Rankin''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 119 caps, 67 goals. FC Endeavour, Wye United, Tanrisal, RGS Athletic.''

Something of a journeywoman striker, Rankin never developed more strings to her bow than just being a poacher and never felt like she needed to. Brenecia's all-time leading goalscorer, the numbers backed her up. When Brenecia played free-flowing Southern football, her runs opened up gaps in defences; when playing the brutalist Northern style, she made the most of scraps.

'''Catherine Gryphon''' Inducted Cycle 81

''Defensive midfielder. 162 caps, 4 goals. Southern Star, FC Brimstone, Northern Union, Starling, Cornellians, Exton FC.''

Never an exciting or dynamic player, but Gryphon reached the top in three different foreign countries, and captained Brenecia to what will likely be its only World Cup. A master of set pieces, but most of her work was just doing the simple things with perfect execution every time.

Val Kylx (A human running gag after leaving Slembana towards international football stardom. Got pretty much nothing of it for a long while until a freak accident saw him end up without a leg: he moved to a managerial career and actually was responsible for getting the Northern Sunrise Islands into the World Cup. One of the few cases of a person inducted by another country but not his own homeland.) 
Namine Nagatomo (Street football product, Namine Nagatomo moved to professional football and soon became a star of Sunrisian football. While not a World Cup champion, her efforts were deemed essential towards the identity of Sunrisian football, and by proxy Hinodejin Football.) 
Hannah Alcouin (The key player on the Unified Sunrisian line-up that won the World Cup back-to-back, known for her amazing offensive play. A half-pokémon, she owned one of the finest World Champion pedigrees possible, including two Under-15 World Cup victories and a very respectable run in the Under-21s.) 
Mellody Sioux (A cat-person goalkeeper that served as the number one option for the position in many Sunrisian line-ups. Her style of goalkeeping has been since adopted by Hinodejin players with questionable success.) 
Nikolai Thorben (The father of Hinodejin football as we know it, responsible for several key additions that turned the game into what it is today in the prosperous empire. He also had a career playing for the Matthew City Senators and the Chromatik national football team and became a household name in the Hinodejin Empire during the off-time where the nation was locked away from the rest of the multiverse.) 
Pokécards (Largely inspired by the PISballs, these were all the rage for a couple of cups but also served as the Sunrisians' second-best contribution to the sport as a whole.) 
Anthony Hawk (Former left-back that also missed the World Cup victories but turned out to become a regular name in the Hinodejin Empire as it rejoined the multiverse, serving as a host of the highly influential Anthony Hawk's Project 8. Also was the butt of several in-jokes.) 
The Diamond Club (The name for the group of masked or unidentified Hinodejin players that served the revived Northern Sunrisian national team before the Hinodejin Empire fully unveiled itself. It featured several high-level officials of the Empire and a former Queen.)

'''Cathy Stokes''' Inducted Cycle 70

''Leftback. 137 caps, 5 goals. AFC Treason.''

Was never among the most talented of the Baptism of Fire squad. However, as a one-club woman and captain of club and country, Stokes' loyalty and resolute determination meant she squeezed out every inch of her skill for the Cormorants for years.

'''Michael Brandon''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Defensive midfielder. 134 caps, 6 goals. Directus.''

Left Nephara at 20 to join Directus, quickly slotting into the first-team picture of one of the multiverse's top sides and spending his entire senior career there. An exceptional midfield general who truly transformed Nephara's image on the international stage from a thuggish backwater to an emergent footballing power.

'''Hadrian Belfast''' Inducted Cycle 74

''Centre-half. 172 caps, 11 goals. Chenoworth Harriers, Sabrefell Athletic, Dwile Warriors, Brookford Otters.''

Still likely Nephara's greatest player. At one stage, he was named Player of the Season in the ANL - at the time the world's best - as the centre-half of the flamboyant attack-minded Dwile Warriors. Played in Nephara's first World Cup finals, aged 23; lifted the CE in his final game, aged 35.

'''Gethin Ramsey''' Inducted Cycle 75

''Managed Nephara through Cycles 64-67. AFC Treason, Cosumar, the Licentian Isles.''

A hard-bitten manager whose insatiable lust for trophies set the tone for Nepharim glory, heading an almost dizzying early period of success for a 'new' national team. Managed the likely unparalleled feat of taking three nations - Nephara, Cosumar and the Licentian Isles - to the World Cup.

'''Elaine Ashdown''' Inducted Cycle 77

''Central midfielder. 155 caps, 50 goals. Iron City, Brinemouth, Hastmead Diamante, Iron City.''

A tall, elegant and cultured midfielder, Ashdown was another player who never fit the stereotypical Nepharim mould. Notoriously slow, but the ball, after all, was round, and especially lethal from set pieces. Ashdown was a true marshal of the midfield, who captained Nephara to the World Cup with understated leadership.

'''Penumbra Amokachi''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 116 caps, 65 goals. Brinemouth, Mâ Âlâmëómë, Eastweald, Coret Hawks.''

Top scorer and self-styled philosopher queen of the 74 champions, the mercurial Amokachi was Nephara's leading goalscorer at the time of her international retirement being curtailed by a falling-out with management. Somehow, this only improved her image as Nephara's spectacular Roman candle.

'''Adnan Szalai''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Right winger. 129 caps, 40 goals. Aries Chariots, Gwinevra Barbarians, Ulsa.''

Szalai came from the very dregs to shine. Widely rumoured to be illiterate, he was Nephara's best player en route to the World Cup, and that only propelled his career forward to greater and greater heights. Szalai has the distinction of being named the first Boldsport Galactico, the best player in the world in the eyes of a neutral third-party agency.

'''Estrella Hawke''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Striker. 150 caps, 91 goals. Starling, Sabrefell Athletic, Directus.''

Athletic, powerful, lethal in front of goal, and nobody in the game has a single bad word to say about her. Hawke's goalscoring record for the national team will probably never be beaten. Spent an all-conquering career on top of both the international scene and club football in Nephara and Eura.

===Independent Athletes from Quebec===
Ondrej Cech - Inducted Cycle 85

''Goalkeeper. 113 caps, World Cups 69-77. Turoki Tide.''

 

Leonardo Conavacio - Inducted Cycle 90

''Striker/Right Wing. 121 caps, 71 goals. World Cups 68-77. Alianza FC, Port Sebastian.''

A Wanderer who eventually found peace with Alianza FC and Port Sebastian, Leonardo Conavacio was a dynamic forward whose values as player only got higher over time. Excellent dribbler with flair, aggressiveness and remarkable ceremonies, Conavacio was one player who consistently frustrated opponents and fans alike, and his ability to score in crucial matches, most notably the penalty goal that propelled the Grim Reapers to their only semifinals appearance in his final World Cup, gave him a higher profile than one his role with both Alianza and the Grim Reapers - that being a second striker - would have gotten. Always a hard worker whose controversies (biting incidents on Liga-Premier matches, repeatedly calling for death of Gary Corsie at times, etc) shadowed his work ethic, he went onto have a good career as manager, currently managing Eterna Stars and the HUElavian national team after long stints with Manechester City (associate manager) and Haligonian.

 

Zachary Fortin - Inducted Cycle 76

''Striker. 150 caps, 101 goals. World Cups 65-75. Montreal Koreana, Marinos Metropolis.''

Remarkably well-paced, with immaculate scoring touch and humble attitude, Zachary Fortin was the player whose all-aroundedness and goalscoring record earned the respect of everybody and continues to draw unanimous approval as the greatest Quebecois footballer to have ever played. Barring improvements of the Quebecois national team's forms, which would give Kate Huitema-Omeasoo or Zinaida Woodcarver a genuine chance, it is unlikely his goalscoring record will break. Superstar who led Marinos Metropolis to back-to-back Champions' Cup and Cup Winners' Cup victories, a feat that has not been achieved by a Quebecois player either.

 
Sir. Lionel Mah - Inducted Cycle 88

''Manager. World Cups 76-80, 85-86. CSKA Quebec, Schottian national team, Willox Street Pirates, Quebecois national team.''

A hard-nosed manager with tactical acumen and no-nonsense approach towards players, Sir. Lionel's excellence was recognised both at home and abroad, and on both domestic and international football. Managed the Schottian national team that was stuck in a limbo to a remarkable decade under his direction, with 2nd place in the Cup of Harmony 68, Quarterfinals and 3rd place finish in the World Cups 77 and 78, before winning it all with Schottia in the World Cup 79, recognised by many as one of the most dominant sides of all time. After his stints with CSKA and Willox Street Pirates, he then returned to international football, where he brought his native Quebec to qualify for the World Cup 86 at 72 years of age.

 
Hazel van Robben - Inducted Cycle 85

''Striker/Right Wing. 112 caps, 51 goals. World Cups 69-77, 85. St. John's Arsenal, Magnaeus City, CD FAS, 1830 Cathair.''

Probably the most electric footballer Quebec and Shingoryeo's ever had, with the iconic status of the player that came with her speed, goal ceremonies, potty mouth. Multi-time golden boot winner in the LigAnaia: Nord and Liga-Premier whose goalscoring talent stayed into all her career, she was happy to play on the right wing, where her speed and crosses came particularly valuable for the Grim Reapers. IFCF's inaugural Champions' League victor with 1830 Cathair, where she played for a dozen years, before playing the last two years of her career with hometown St. John's Arsenal. Stayed low-profile since retirement, goes back and forth between Audioslavia and Quebec as a cannabis business executive.

 
Karl Varsteeg - Inducted Cycle 76

''Left Back. 136 caps, 10 goals. World Cups 67-75. Avenida Principal.''

Among the six Quebecois inductees to the Hall of Fame, Karl Varsteeg's probably the least known name out of all of them. Never a flashy figure, which makes sense given the nature of the Quebecois team, Varsteeg's made name for himself with his defensive consistency, height advantage and never leaving the defensive third of the zone. Globe Cup champions with Avenida Principal, where he stayed for most of his career.

# {{color box|#3399CC}} First slot [WCQs 89-95]: {{flagicon|Saint Eleanor}} '''Liam West:''' Who else? West not only captained the national team from Baptism of Fire 76 (coincident with WC89) up until his retirement after the 85th Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC93), but played in every single one of those games. Even today, West remains something of a model for aspiring Eleanorian centrebacks, if not footballers in general: mild-mannered, slightly dovish, mentally and physically capable... and always with one eye on non-sporting pursuits. Although brought up in the eastern city - born in Newbanks and raised in Carpentersville - West was always loyal to Independence 1975, Central district's club and - in its heyday - one of the greatest ever Eleanorian club sides. To some controversy, he was somewhat more vocal in their press conferences than in the national team's, where he largely handed off press duty to Bridget Coombe - his successor as captain - or one of the other regular starters. West wrote a regular column for SESB about his team's progress while he was captain, but has long foresworn journalism and is now the duty manager of a corner shop back in Carpentersville, where he lives with his wife Cecilia. 15 Darlington Street, his old house in Central, is now being leased by SEFA to assistant manager Reniira Clevinger.

Saw out a great career by helping clinch the Tigers' first-ever World Cup qualification before retiring and briefly serving as national team manager.

''Alex Cartwright (played WCQ68-WC74)'' - A dominant midfielder-turned-striker who in his heyday was one of the best in Esportiva at scoring goals. His career began with the Tigers' first qualification and ended with a triumphant return to the World Cup after a two-cycle drought. Also had a fruitful career with Quebec's Kingston FC in LigAnaia.

''Adrian Lindberg (played WCQ74-WCQ80)'' - Fearless defender and Llamanean captain, as well as a Champion's Cup winner with Real Azuris, Lindberg's leadership, composure, and skill made him a mainstay in Llamanean football for over a decade.

A free agent until Tinhampton's win at the 73rd Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC81), in which her greatest role was scoring the winning goal in their quarterfinal, she secured a move to Crystal Fair HC of the United League on a free transfer, where she remained long after the financial collapse of Tinhampton's FA. After retiring from club football, Evans became the manager of Saint Eleanor, a former Tinhamptonian colony. She spent six-and-a-half cycles on deployment with the White Stars, leading them to the 91st and 94th World Cup final tournaments as well as the 84th Cup of Harmony title (coincident with WC92), before being forced out after the 95th qualifiers following a massive player revolt.

World Cup Hall of Fame

2024-04-04T23:13:41Z

SaintEleanor: /* Tinhampton */

The '''World Cup Hall of Fame''' is for Players, Coaches, Referees, Commentators, Mascots and 'Other' Characters who have made a memorable impact in the history of the [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=World_Cup NationStates World Cup].

Not to be confused with the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GI1y_DMZ8DFKRUApQageVNtDZ0IburNJWgUFVrgr6JE/edit World Cup Nations Hall of Fame]

From ancient, long-forgotten and mis-remembered players to the some of the newer participants of the Cup, all sorts of people (and other things) can make it into the Hall of Fame. Last updated after ''World Cup 65.''

===Baker Park===
'''Trevor Richmond''' (''Manager'')--guided the National Team to qualification for World Cup 80, on the nation's first attempt; also led the squad to the World Cup Finals in cycle 81 & 82. before stepping aside as the winningest NT boss in history (49 victories in 95 matches) 
'''Pamela Scott''' (''Manager'')--took over for Richmond after WC 82 and led the side to qualification for World Cup 83, continuing on through Baker Park's co-hosting of World Cup 84. Also managed the NT to a runner-up spot in Baptism of Fire 67, the BPNT's first ever WCC tournament. Won 61 of 99 matches in the mixed gender era, placing her first in both categories. 
'''Jamari Bozeman''' (''Player'')--scored 58 times in 118 appearances during the mixed gender era, establishing the record for both categories (although he was later surpassed by Annabeth Westmoreland for most appearances with her 121st cap). Dynamic attacking midfielder who passed up opportunities to move abroad, remaining at Southend AC for his entire career. 
'''[[Annabeth Westmoreland]]''' (''Player'')--All time leader in appearances for the National Team (121), first player from Baker Park named to the Galactico Long and Short List, was most expensive overseas transfer in BP history with $CBP9.5 million move from Middletown City Women to Valanora's Hondo FC.

===Banija===

Adama Sowe -''former Chairman of the RBSA, present Vice President of the World Cup Committee, member of the IFCF Executive Council'') 
Gitonga Kahara -''all-time leading scorer for the Banijan national team, all-time caps leader for the national team, World Cup 86 winning captain for the national team''

===Barunia===
Joric Ruskin - Coach (plus ex-captain and war-hero). He has guided the Suns to 7 World Cups, including 3 quarterfinal finishes, their best ever result. He also coached the team to a CoH final. 
Yohan Marris - Barunia's all-time leading goalscorer. He also captained the side for two cycles, which included the Round of 16 in World Cup 68. 
Paul Bainbridge - Famed goalie nicknamed "The Wall". 2nd on Barunia's list of capped players, longest serving captain. He has played in two CoH finals and 5 World Cups.

===Brazillico===
Esteban De Jesus
===Brenecia===
'''Miriam Spitfire''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Left winger. 121 caps, 23 goals. Envy River, FC Brimstone, Guilder.''

One of the Baptism of Fire squad as a young winger, Spitfire was one of the first Brenecians to make a name for herself further abroad than Nephara; specifically, in Apox. A clever, rangy winger who truly elevated what was at the time a fairly agricultural team.

'''Orson Faulkner''' Inducted Cycle 76

''Rightback/centre-half. 126 caps, 7 goals. Northern Union, AC Izotz Zubia.''

A muscular, bruising defender, a slightly late bloomer, and a lion-hearted captain with a knack for only scoring at the time of most need that made him a legendary figure at Zozi. Faulkner was part of the first actually successful generation of Brenecian players, and earned international acclaim for his performances under pressure.

'''Catherine Purrington''' Inducted Cycle 78

''Attacking midfielder. 157 caps, 50 goals. Francisca Orient, Wye United, Vermillion Rage.''

Short, overweight, lazy, exclusively one-footed. Unambitious in her club career. Had a fling with Nephara international Catheline Stockinger. None of this mattered when she was on the pitch and the ball was at her feet, and with a single languid sweep of her chunky left leg she could take it wherever she needed it to go, including the top corner of the net.

'''Ursula Rankin''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 119 caps, 67 goals. FC Endeavour, Wye United, Tanrisal, RGS Athletic.''

Something of a journeywoman striker, Rankin never developed more strings to her bow than just being a poacher and never felt like she needed to. Brenecia's all-time leading goalscorer, the numbers backed her up. When Brenecia played free-flowing Southern football, her runs opened up gaps in defences; when playing the brutalist Northern style, she made the most of scraps.

'''Catherine Gryphon''' Inducted Cycle 81

''Defensive midfielder. 162 caps, 4 goals. Southern Star, FC Brimstone, Northern Union, Starling, Cornellians, Exton FC.''

Never an exciting or dynamic player, but Gryphon reached the top in three different foreign countries, and captained Brenecia to what will likely be its only World Cup. A master of set pieces, but most of her work was just doing the simple things with perfect execution every time.

Val Kylx (A human running gag after leaving Slembana towards international football stardom. Got pretty much nothing of it for a long while until a freak accident saw him end up without a leg: he moved to a managerial career and actually was responsible for getting the Northern Sunrise Islands into the World Cup. One of the few cases of a person inducted by another country but not his own homeland.) 
Namine Nagatomo (Street football product, Namine Nagatomo moved to professional football and soon became a star of Sunrisian football. While not a World Cup champion, her efforts were deemed essential towards the identity of Sunrisian football, and by proxy Hinodejin Football.) 
Hannah Alcouin (The key player on the Unified Sunrisian line-up that won the World Cup back-to-back, known for her amazing offensive play. A half-pokémon, she owned one of the finest World Champion pedigrees possible, including two Under-15 World Cup victories and a very respectable run in the Under-21s.) 
Mellody Sioux (A cat-person goalkeeper that served as the number one option for the position in many Sunrisian line-ups. Her style of goalkeeping has been since adopted by Hinodejin players with questionable success.) 
Nikolai Thorben (The father of Hinodejin football as we know it, responsible for several key additions that turned the game into what it is today in the prosperous empire. He also had a career playing for the Matthew City Senators and the Chromatik national football team and became a household name in the Hinodejin Empire during the off-time where the nation was locked away from the rest of the multiverse.) 
Pokécards (Largely inspired by the PISballs, these were all the rage for a couple of cups but also served as the Sunrisians' second-best contribution to the sport as a whole.) 
Anthony Hawk (Former left-back that also missed the World Cup victories but turned out to become a regular name in the Hinodejin Empire as it rejoined the multiverse, serving as a host of the highly influential Anthony Hawk's Project 8. Also was the butt of several in-jokes.) 
The Diamond Club (The name for the group of masked or unidentified Hinodejin players that served the revived Northern Sunrisian national team before the Hinodejin Empire fully unveiled itself. It featured several high-level officials of the Empire and a former Queen.)

'''Cathy Stokes''' Inducted Cycle 70

''Leftback. 137 caps, 5 goals. AFC Treason.''

Was never among the most talented of the Baptism of Fire squad. However, as a one-club woman and captain of club and country, Stokes' loyalty and resolute determination meant she squeezed out every inch of her skill for the Cormorants for years.

'''Michael Brandon''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Defensive midfielder. 134 caps, 6 goals. Directus.''

Left Nephara at 20 to join Directus, quickly slotting into the first-team picture of one of the multiverse's top sides and spending his entire senior career there. An exceptional midfield general who truly transformed Nephara's image on the international stage from a thuggish backwater to an emergent footballing power.

'''Hadrian Belfast''' Inducted Cycle 74

''Centre-half. 172 caps, 11 goals. Chenoworth Harriers, Sabrefell Athletic, Dwile Warriors, Brookford Otters.''

Still likely Nephara's greatest player. At one stage, he was named Player of the Season in the ANL - at the time the world's best - as the centre-half of the flamboyant attack-minded Dwile Warriors. Played in Nephara's first World Cup finals, aged 23; lifted the CE in his final game, aged 35.

'''Gethin Ramsey''' Inducted Cycle 75

''Managed Nephara through Cycles 64-67. AFC Treason, Cosumar, the Licentian Isles.''

A hard-bitten manager whose insatiable lust for trophies set the tone for Nepharim glory, heading an almost dizzying early period of success for a 'new' national team. Managed the likely unparalleled feat of taking three nations - Nephara, Cosumar and the Licentian Isles - to the World Cup.

'''Elaine Ashdown''' Inducted Cycle 77

''Central midfielder. 155 caps, 50 goals. Iron City, Brinemouth, Hastmead Diamante, Iron City.''

A tall, elegant and cultured midfielder, Ashdown was another player who never fit the stereotypical Nepharim mould. Notoriously slow, but the ball, after all, was round, and especially lethal from set pieces. Ashdown was a true marshal of the midfield, who captained Nephara to the World Cup with understated leadership.

'''Penumbra Amokachi''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 116 caps, 65 goals. Brinemouth, Mâ Âlâmëómë, Eastweald, Coret Hawks.''

Top scorer and self-styled philosopher queen of the 74 champions, the mercurial Amokachi was Nephara's leading goalscorer at the time of her international retirement being curtailed by a falling-out with management. Somehow, this only improved her image as Nephara's spectacular Roman candle.

'''Adnan Szalai''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Right winger. 129 caps, 40 goals. Aries Chariots, Gwinevra Barbarians, Ulsa.''

Szalai came from the very dregs to shine. Widely rumoured to be illiterate, he was Nephara's best player en route to the World Cup, and that only propelled his career forward to greater and greater heights. Szalai has the distinction of being named the first Boldsport Galactico, the best player in the world in the eyes of a neutral third-party agency.

'''Estrella Hawke''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Striker. 150 caps, 91 goals. Starling, Sabrefell Athletic, Directus.''

Athletic, powerful, lethal in front of goal, and nobody in the game has a single bad word to say about her. Hawke's goalscoring record for the national team will probably never be beaten. Spent an all-conquering career on top of both the international scene and club football in Nephara and Eura.

===Quakmybush===
Greg Hughes

===Independent Athletes from Quebec===
Ondrej Cech - Inducted Cycle 85

''Goalkeeper. 113 caps, World Cups 69-77. Turoki Tide.''

 

Leonardo Conavacio - Inducted Cycle 90

''Striker/Right Wing. 121 caps, 71 goals. World Cups 68-77. Alianza FC, Port Sebastian.''

A Wanderer who eventually found peace with Alianza FC and Port Sebastian, Leonardo Conavacio was a dynamic forward whose values as player only got higher over time. Excellent dribbler with flair, aggressiveness and remarkable ceremonies, Conavacio was one player who consistently frustrated opponents and fans alike, and his ability to score in crucial matches, most notably the penalty goal that propelled the Grim Reapers to their only semifinals appearance in his final World Cup, gave him a higher profile than one his role with both Alianza and the Grim Reapers - that being a second striker - would have gotten. Always a hard worker whose controversies (biting incidents on Liga-Premier matches, repeatedly calling for death of Gary Corsie at times, etc) shadowed his work ethic, he went onto have a good career as manager, currently managing Eterna Stars and the HUElavian national team after long stints with Manechester City (associate manager) and Haligonian.

 

Zachary Fortin - Inducted Cycle 76

''Striker. 150 caps, 101 goals. World Cups 65-75. Montreal Koreana, Marinos Metropolis.''

Remarkably well-paced, with immaculate scoring touch and humble attitude, Zachary Fortin was the player whose all-aroundedness and goalscoring record earned the respect of everybody and continues to draw unanimous approval as the greatest Quebecois footballer to have ever played. Barring improvements of the Quebecois national team's forms, which would give Kate Huitema-Omeasoo or Zinaida Woodcarver a genuine chance, it is unlikely his goalscoring record will break. Superstar who led Marinos Metropolis to back-to-back Champions' Cup and Cup Winners' Cup victories, a feat that has not been achieved by a Quebecois player either.

 
Sir. Lionel Mah - Inducted Cycle 88

''Manager. World Cups 76-80, 85-86. CSKA Quebec, Schottian national team, Willox Street Pirates, Quebecois national team.''

A hard-nosed manager with tactical acumen and no-nonsense approach towards players, Sir. Lionel's excellence was recognised both at home and abroad, and on both domestic and international football. Managed the Schottian national team that was stuck in a limbo to a remarkable decade under his direction, with 2nd place in the Cup of Harmony 68, Quarterfinals and 3rd place finish in the World Cups 77 and 78, before winning it all with Schottia in the World Cup 79, recognised by many as one of the most dominant sides of all time. After his stints with CSKA and Willox Street Pirates, he then returned to international football, where he brought his native Quebec to qualify for the World Cup 86 at 72 years of age.

 
Hazel van Robben - Inducted Cycle 85

''Striker/Right Wing. 112 caps, 51 goals. World Cups 69-77, 85. St. John's Arsenal, Magnaeus City, CD FAS, 1830 Cathair.''

Probably the most electric footballer Quebec and Shingoryeo's ever had, with the iconic status of the player that came with her speed, goal ceremonies, potty mouth. Multi-time golden boot winner in the LigAnaia: Nord and Liga-Premier whose goalscoring talent stayed into all her career, she was happy to play on the right wing, where her speed and crosses came particularly valuable for the Grim Reapers. IFCF's inaugural Champions' League victor with 1830 Cathair, where she played for a dozen years, before playing the last two years of her career with hometown St. John's Arsenal. Stayed low-profile since retirement, goes back and forth between Audioslavia and Quebec as a cannabis business executive.

 
Karl Varsteeg - Inducted Cycle 76

''Left Back. 136 caps, 10 goals. World Cups 67-75. Avenida Principal.''

Among the six Quebecois inductees to the Hall of Fame, Karl Varsteeg's probably the least known name out of all of them. Never a flashy figure, which makes sense given the nature of the Quebecois team, Varsteeg's made name for himself with his defensive consistency, height advantage and never leaving the defensive third of the zone. Globe Cup champions with Avenida Principal, where he stayed for most of his career.

West not only captained the national team from Baptism of Fire 76 (coincident with WC89) up until his retirement after the 85th Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC93), but played in every single one of those games. Even today, West remains something of a model for aspiring Eleanorian centrebacks, if not footballers in general: mild-mannered, slightly dovish, mentally and physically capable... and always with one eye on non-sporting pursuits. Although brought up in the eastern city - born in Newbanks and raised in Carpentersville - West was always loyal to Independence 1975, Central district's club and - in its heyday - one of the greatest ever Eleanorian club sides. To some controversy, he was somewhat more vocal in their press conferences than in the national team's, where he largely handed off press duty to Bridget Coombe - his successor as captain - or one of the other regular starters. West wrote a regular column for SESB about his team's progress while he was captain, but has long foresworn journalism and is now the duty manager of a corner shop back in Carpentersville, where he lives with his wife Cecilia. 15 Darlington Street, his old house in Central, is now being leased by SEFA to assistant manager Reniira Clevinger.

===Super-Llamaland===
''Trevor Duncan (played WCQ62-WC68, managed WCQ75)'' - One of Super-Llamaland's first great players, the dynamic attacking-midfielder put Super-Llamaland on the map with his well-rounded game. Saw out a great career by helping clinch the Tigers' first-ever World Cup qualification before retiring and briefly serving as national team manager.

''Alex Cartwright (played WCQ68-WC74)'' - A dominant midfielder-turned-striker who in his heyday was one of the best in Esportiva at scoring goals. His career began with the Tigers' first qualification and ended with a triumphant return to the World Cup after a two-cycle drought. Also had a fruitful career with Quebec's Kingston FC in LigAnaia.

''Adrian Lindberg (played WCQ74-WCQ80)'' - Fearless defender and Llamanean captain, as well as a Champion's Cup winner with Real Azuris, Lindberg's leadership, composure, and skill made him a mainstay in Llamanean football for over a decade.

# {{color box|#B19484}} First slot [WCQs 77-83]: '''Priscilla Evans:''' A Tinhampton City season ticket holder who won the draw to appear in Tinhampton's first ever World Cup team, Evans was never the captain - that accolade going first to the erstwhile Ian Jones then to the slightly less-than-erstwhile Julia Atherton - but she was certainly their most famous player; an agile, understated, stunningly efficient, and mostly eminently reasonable striker. A free agent until Tinhampton's win at the 73rd Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC81), in which her greatest role was scoring the winning goal in their quarterfinal, she secured a move to Crystal Fair HC of the United League on a free transfer, where she remained long after the financial collapse of Tinhampton's FA. After retiring from club football, Evans became the manager of Saint Eleanor, a former Tinhamptonian colony. She spent six-and-a-half cycles on deployment with the White Stars, leading them to the 91st and 94th World Cup final tournaments as well as the 84th Cup of Harmony title (coincident with WC92), before being forced out after the 95th qualifiers following a massive player revolt. ''Curriculum vitae: TIN player 77Q-83Q; EXT manager 89Q-95Q''
# {{color box|#000000}} Second slot: '''Not available yet.''' Tinhampton did not play in any further WCQs nor qualify for any WCFs. It is accordingly unlikely that there will ever be a second slot created.

===Baker Park===
'''Trevor Richmond''' (''Manager'')--guided the National Team to qualification for World Cup 80, on the nation's first attempt; also led the squad to the World Cup Finals in cycle 81 & 82. before stepping aside as the winningest NT boss in history (49 victories in 95 matches) 
'''Pamela Scott''' (''Manager'')--took over for Richmond after WC 82 and led the side to qualification for World Cup 83, continuing on through Baker Park's co-hosting of World Cup 84. Also managed the NT to a runner-up spot in Baptism of Fire 67, the BPNT's first ever WCC tournament. Won 61 of 99 matches in the mixed gender era, placing her first in both categories. 
'''Jamari Bozeman''' (''Player'')--scored 58 times in 118 appearances during the mixed gender era, establishing the record for both categories (although he was later surpassed by Annabeth Westmoreland for most appearances with her 121st cap). Dynamic attacking midfielder who passed up opportunities to move abroad, remaining at Southend AC for his entire career. 
'''[[Annabeth Westmoreland]]''' (''Player'')--All time leader in appearances for the National Team (121), first player from Baker Park named to the Galactico Long and Short List, was most expensive overseas transfer in BP history with $CBP9.5 million move from Middletown City Women to Valanora's Hondo FC.

===Banija===

Adama Sowe -''former Chairman of the RBSA, present Vice President of the World Cup Committee, member of the IFCF Executive Council'') 
Gitonga Kahara -''all-time leading scorer for the Banijan national team, all-time caps leader for the national team, World Cup 86 winning captain for the national team''

===Barunia===
Joric Ruskin - Coach (plus ex-captain and war-hero). He has guided the Suns to 7 World Cups, including 3 quarterfinal finishes, their best ever result. He also coached the team to a CoH final. 
Yohan Marris - Barunia's all-time leading goalscorer. He also captained the side for two cycles, which included the Round of 16 in World Cup 68. 
Paul Bainbridge - Famed goalie nicknamed "The Wall". 2nd on Barunia's list of capped players, longest serving captain. He has played in two CoH finals and 5 World Cups.

Esteban De Jesus
===Brenecia===
'''Miriam Spitfire''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Left winger. 121 caps, 23 goals. Envy River, FC Brimstone, Guilder.''

One of the Baptism of Fire squad as a young winger, Spitfire was one of the first Brenecians to make a name for herself further abroad than Nephara; specifically, in Apox. A clever, rangy winger who truly elevated what was at the time a fairly agricultural team.

'''Orson Faulkner''' Inducted Cycle 76

''Rightback/centre-half. 126 caps, 7 goals. Northern Union, AC Izotz Zubia.''

A muscular, bruising defender, a slightly late bloomer, and a lion-hearted captain with a knack for only scoring at the time of most need that made him a legendary figure at Zozi. Faulkner was part of the first actually successful generation of Brenecian players, and earned international acclaim for his performances under pressure.

'''Catherine Purrington''' Inducted Cycle 78

''Attacking midfielder. 157 caps, 50 goals. Francisca Orient, Wye United, Vermillion Rage.''

Short, overweight, lazy, exclusively one-footed. Unambitious in her club career. Had a fling with Nephara international Catheline Stockinger. None of this mattered when she was on the pitch and the ball was at her feet, and with a single languid sweep of her chunky left leg she could take it wherever she needed it to go, including the top corner of the net.

'''Ursula Rankin''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 119 caps, 67 goals. FC Endeavour, Wye United, Tanrisal, RGS Athletic.''

Something of a journeywoman striker, Rankin never developed more strings to her bow than just being a poacher and never felt like she needed to. Brenecia's all-time leading goalscorer, the numbers backed her up. When Brenecia played free-flowing Southern football, her runs opened up gaps in defences; when playing the brutalist Northern style, she made the most of scraps.

'''Catherine Gryphon''' Inducted Cycle 81

''Defensive midfielder. 162 caps, 4 goals. Southern Star, FC Brimstone, Northern Union, Starling, Cornellians, Exton FC.''

Never an exciting or dynamic player, but Gryphon reached the top in three different foreign countries, and captained Brenecia to what will likely be its only World Cup. A master of set pieces, but most of her work was just doing the simple things with perfect execution every time.

Val Kylx (A human running gag after leaving Slembana towards international football stardom. Got pretty much nothing of it for a long while until a freak accident saw him end up without a leg: he moved to a managerial career and actually was responsible for getting the Northern Sunrise Islands into the World Cup. One of the few cases of a person inducted by another country but not his own homeland.) 
Namine Nagatomo (Street football product, Namine Nagatomo moved to professional football and soon became a star of Sunrisian football. While not a World Cup champion, her efforts were deemed essential towards the identity of Sunrisian football, and by proxy Hinodejin Football.) 
Hannah Alcouin (The key player on the Unified Sunrisian line-up that won the World Cup back-to-back, known for her amazing offensive play. A half-pokémon, she owned one of the finest World Champion pedigrees possible, including two Under-15 World Cup victories and a very respectable run in the Under-21s.) 
Mellody Sioux (A cat-person goalkeeper that served as the number one option for the position in many Sunrisian line-ups. Her style of goalkeeping has been since adopted by Hinodejin players with questionable success.) 
Nikolai Thorben (The father of Hinodejin football as we know it, responsible for several key additions that turned the game into what it is today in the prosperous empire. He also had a career playing for the Matthew City Senators and the Chromatik national football team and became a household name in the Hinodejin Empire during the off-time where the nation was locked away from the rest of the multiverse.) 
Pokécards (Largely inspired by the PISballs, these were all the rage for a couple of cups but also served as the Sunrisians' second-best contribution to the sport as a whole.) 
Anthony Hawk (Former left-back that also missed the World Cup victories but turned out to become a regular name in the Hinodejin Empire as it rejoined the multiverse, serving as a host of the highly influential Anthony Hawk's Project 8. Also was the butt of several in-jokes.) 
The Diamond Club (The name for the group of masked or unidentified Hinodejin players that served the revived Northern Sunrisian national team before the Hinodejin Empire fully unveiled itself. It featured several high-level officials of the Empire and a former Queen.)

'''Cathy Stokes''' Inducted Cycle 70

''Leftback. 137 caps, 5 goals. AFC Treason.''

Was never among the most talented of the Baptism of Fire squad. However, as a one-club woman and captain of club and country, Stokes' loyalty and resolute determination meant she squeezed out every inch of her skill for the Cormorants for years.

'''Michael Brandon''' Inducted Cycle 71

''Defensive midfielder. 134 caps, 6 goals. Directus.''

Left Nephara at 20 to join Directus, quickly slotting into the first-team picture of one of the multiverse's top sides and spending his entire senior career there. An exceptional midfield general who truly transformed Nephara's image on the international stage from a thuggish backwater to an emergent footballing power.

'''Hadrian Belfast''' Inducted Cycle 74

''Centre-half. 172 caps, 11 goals. Chenoworth Harriers, Sabrefell Athletic, Dwile Warriors, Brookford Otters.''

Still likely Nephara's greatest player. At one stage, he was named Player of the Season in the ANL - at the time the world's best - as the centre-half of the flamboyant attack-minded Dwile Warriors. Played in Nephara's first World Cup finals, aged 23; lifted the CE in his final game, aged 35.

'''Gethin Ramsey''' Inducted Cycle 75

''Managed Nephara through Cycles 64-67. AFC Treason, Cosumar, the Licentian Isles.''

A hard-bitten manager whose insatiable lust for trophies set the tone for Nepharim glory, heading an almost dizzying early period of success for a 'new' national team. Managed the likely unparalleled feat of taking three nations - Nephara, Cosumar and the Licentian Isles - to the World Cup.

'''Elaine Ashdown''' Inducted Cycle 77

''Central midfielder. 155 caps, 50 goals. Iron City, Brinemouth, Hastmead Diamante, Iron City.''

A tall, elegant and cultured midfielder, Ashdown was another player who never fit the stereotypical Nepharim mould. Notoriously slow, but the ball, after all, was round, and especially lethal from set pieces. Ashdown was a true marshal of the midfield, who captained Nephara to the World Cup with understated leadership.

'''Penumbra Amokachi''' Inducted Cycle 80

''Striker. 116 caps, 65 goals. Brinemouth, Mâ Âlâmëómë, Eastweald, Coret Hawks.''

Top scorer and self-styled philosopher queen of the 74 champions, the mercurial Amokachi was Nephara's leading goalscorer at the time of her international retirement being curtailed by a falling-out with management. Somehow, this only improved her image as Nephara's spectacular Roman candle.

'''Adnan Szalai''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Right winger. 129 caps, 40 goals. Aries Chariots, Gwinevra Barbarians, Ulsa.''

Szalai came from the very dregs to shine. Widely rumoured to be illiterate, he was Nephara's best player en route to the World Cup, and that only propelled his career forward to greater and greater heights. Szalai has the distinction of being named the first Boldsport Galactico, the best player in the world in the eyes of a neutral third-party agency.

'''Estrella Hawke''' Inducted Cycle 84

''Striker. 150 caps, 91 goals. Starling, Sabrefell Athletic, Directus.''

Athletic, powerful, lethal in front of goal, and nobody in the game has a single bad word to say about her. Hawke's goalscoring record for the national team will probably never be beaten. Spent an all-conquering career on top of both the international scene and club football in Nephara and Eura.

Leonardo Conavacio - Inducted Cycle 90

''Striker/Right Wing. 121 caps, 71 goals. World Cups 68-77. Alianza FC, Port Sebastian.''

A Wanderer who eventually found peace with Alianza FC and Port Sebastian, Leonardo Conavacio was a dynamic forward whose values as player only got higher over time. Excellent dribbler with flair, aggressiveness and remarkable ceremonies, Conavacio was one player who consistently frustrated opponents and fans alike, and his ability to score in crucial matches, most notably the penalty goal that propelled the Grim Reapers to their only semifinals appearance in his final World Cup, gave him a higher profile than one his role with both Alianza and the Grim Reapers - that being a second striker - would have gotten. Always a hard worker whose controversies (biting incidents on Liga-Premier matches, repeatedly calling for death of Gary Corsie at times, etc) shadowed his work ethic, he went onto have a good career as manager, currently managing Eterna Stars and the HUElavian national team after long stints with Manechester City (associate manager) and Haligonian.

 

Zachary Fortin - Inducted Cycle 76

''Striker. 150 caps, 101 goals. World Cups 65-75. Montreal Koreana, Marinos Metropolis.''

Remarkably well-paced, with immaculate scoring touch and humble attitude, Zachary Fortin was the player whose all-aroundedness and goalscoring record earned the respect of everybody and continues to draw unanimous approval as the greatest Quebecois footballer to have ever played. Barring improvements of the Quebecois national team's forms, which would give Kate Huitema-Omeasoo or Zinaida Woodcarver a genuine chance, it is unlikely his goalscoring record will break. Superstar who led Marinos Metropolis to back-to-back Champions' Cup and Cup Winners' Cup victories, a feat that has not been achieved by a Quebecois player either.

 
Sir. Lionel Mah - Inducted Cycle 88

''Manager. World Cups 76-80, 85-86. CSKA Quebec, Schottian national team, Willox Street Pirates, Quebecois national team.''

A hard-nosed manager with tactical acumen and no-nonsense approach towards players, Sir. Lionel's excellence was recognised both at home and abroad, and on both domestic and international football. Managed the Schottian national team that was stuck in a limbo to a remarkable decade under his direction, with 2nd place in the Cup of Harmony 68, Quarterfinals and 3rd place finish in the World Cups 77 and 78, before winning it all with Schottia in the World Cup 79, recognised by many as one of the most dominant sides of all time. After his stints with CSKA and Willox Street Pirates, he then returned to international football, where he brought his native Quebec to qualify for the World Cup 86 at 72 years of age.

 
Hazel van Robben - Inducted Cycle 85

''Striker/Right Wing. 112 caps, 51 goals. World Cups 69-77, 85. St. John's Arsenal, Magnaeus City, CD FAS, 1830 Cathair.''

Probably the most electric footballer Quebec and Shingoryeo's ever had, with the iconic status of the player that came with her speed, goal ceremonies, potty mouth. Multi-time golden boot winner in the LigAnaia: Nord and Liga-Premier whose goalscoring talent stayed into all her career, she was happy to play on the right wing, where her speed and crosses came particularly valuable for the Grim Reapers. IFCF's inaugural Champions' League victor with 1830 Cathair, where she played for a dozen years, before playing the last two years of her career with hometown St. John's Arsenal. Stayed low-profile since retirement, goes back and forth between Audioslavia and Quebec as a cannabis business executive.

 
Karl Varsteeg - Inducted Cycle 76

''Left Back. 136 caps, 10 goals. World Cups 67-75. Avenida Principal.''

Among the six Quebecois inductees to the Hall of Fame, Karl Varsteeg's probably the least known name out of all of them. Never a flashy figure, which makes sense given the nature of the Quebecois team, Varsteeg's made name for himself with his defensive consistency, height advantage and never leaving the defensive third of the zone. Globe Cup champions with Avenida Principal, where he stayed for most of his career.

# {{color box|#3399CC}} First slot [WCQs 89-95]: '''Liam West:''' Who else? West not only captained the national team from Baptism of Fire 76 (coincident with WC89) up until his retirement after the 85th Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC93), but played in every single one of those games. Even today, West remains something of a model for aspiring Eleanorian centrebacks, if not footballers in general: mild-mannered, slightly dovish, mentally and physically capable... and always with one eye on non-sporting pursuits. Although brought up in the eastern city - born in Newbanks and raised in Carpentersville - West was always loyal to Independence 1975, Central district's club and - in its heyday - one of the greatest ever Eleanorian club sides. To some controversy, he was somewhat more vocal in their press conferences than in the national team's, where he largely handed off press duty to Bridget Coombe - his successor as captain - or one of the other regular starters. West wrote a regular column for SESB about his team's progress while he was captain, but has long foresworn journalism and is now the duty manager of a corner shop back in Carpentersville, where he lives with his wife Cecilia. 15 Darlington Street, his old house in Central, is now being leased by SEFA to assistant manager Reniira Clevinger.

# {{color box|#B19484}} First slot [WCQs 77-83]: '''Priscilla Evans:''' A Tinhampton City season ticket holder who won the draw to appear in Tinhampton's first ever World Cup team, Evans was never the captain - that accolade going first to the erstwhile Ian Jones then to the slightly less-than-erstwhile Julia Atherton - but she was certainly their most famous player; an agile, understated, stunningly efficient, and mostly eminently reasonable striker. A free agent until Tinhampton's win at the 73rd Cup of Harmony (coincident with WC81), in which her greatest role was scoring the winning goal in their quarterfinal, she secured a move to Crystal Fair HC of the United League on a free transfer, where she remained long after the financial collapse of Tinhampton's FA. After retiring from club football, Evans became the manager of Saint Eleanor, a former Tinhamptonian colony. She spent six-and-a-half cycles on deployment with the White Stars, leading them to the 91st and 94th World Cup final tournaments as well as the the 84th Cup of Harmony title (coincident with WC92), before being forced out after the 95th qualifiers following a massive player revolt. ''Curriculum vitae: TIN player 77Q-83Q; EXT manager 89Q-95Q''
# {{color box|#000000}} Second slot: '''Not available yet.''' Tinhampton did not play in any further WCQs nor qualify for any WCFs. It is accordingly unlikely that there will ever be a second slot created.

'''''It is summer 2006 in Saint Eleanor as of time of writing.'''''

'''The Grand Republic of Saint Eleanor''' is an island nation just north of the Anaian continent of Aurora. It has a population of approximately 510,000, nine-tenths of which live in the capital of Saint Eleanor. The nation declared independence from Tinhampton in 1975 after a year-long civil war popularly known as the War of Independence during which it lost 38,000 inhabitants, some one-eighth of its population.

In the context of sport, Saint Eleanor is best known for its participation in international football. The [[Saint Eleanor League]], which has twelve teams, is a top-32 league according to the IFCF (as of the start of the 2001 season). The Eleanorian national team, nicknamed the White Stars, qualified for the 91st World Cup and for the Cup of Harmony in every other cycle since the 89th, when they debuted.
