'''World Cup 71''' was an international [[wikipedia:Association football|football]] tournament contested by 173 national teams. 

The finals involved 32 teams, of which 30 came through [[World Cup 71 qualification|a qualifying competition]], while the host nations &ndash; [[Felix national football team|Felix]] and [[Yttribia national football team|Yttribia]] qualified automatically. Of the 32, 23 had also appeared in the finals of [[World Cup 70]]<!--, with __ nations making their first appearances at the World Cup finals in this edition. -->

64 matches were played in 23 venues across 22 cities in the host nations. Host nations Felix and Yttribia were both eliminated in the group stage. [[Osarius national football team|Osarius]], the defending champions, once again progressed to [[World Cup 71 Final|the final]], where they played [[Pasarga national football team|Pasarga]]. Osarius won the match 4–3 to claim their second World Cup.

==Host selection==
As usual, the [[World Cup Committee]] cast their votes to select the hosts of all three of [[World Cup Cycle 71|the cycle's]] [[:Category:WCC-affiliated tournaments|WCC-affiliated tournaments]]. The bid from Felix and Yttribia won the right to host World Cup 71, beating two other joint bids from Valanora and The Sarian, and Royal Kingdom of Quebec and the Holy Republican Empire.

The voting results were:<ref name="HostVote" />

==Group stage==
Competing countries were divided into eight groups of four teams (groups A to H). Teams in each group played one another in a [[wikipedia:round-robin tournament|round-robin]], with the top two teams advancing to the [[#Knockout stage|knockout stage]]. 4 Atlantian Oceanian teams, 4 Rushmori teams, and 5 Esportivan teams progressed to the knockout stage, together with 3 from other regions.

===Tiebreakers===
The ranking of teams in the group stage was determined as follows:

# Points obtained in all group matches;
# Points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
# Goal difference in the matches played between the teams in question;
# Goal difference in all group matches;
# Number of goals scored in all group matches;

Should the above not settle the tie, and the tie must be settled in order to determine advancement in the tournament, a tiebreaker match would be held at a neutral venue.

==Knockout stage==
In the knockout stages, if a match was level at the end of normal playing time, [[wikipedia:Overtime (Association football)|extra time]] was played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a [[wikipedia:Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shoot-out]] to determine the winners.

Below is the bracket for the knockout round of the tournament, teams in bold denote match winners.
