Current: Baptism of Fire 87

The Baptism of Fire (BoF) is an international football tournament directed at nations that have no previous experience in WCC tournaments. It is organized by the World Cup Committee and is one of the three competitions that make up each World Cup cycle. Tournaments are held prior to each World Cup. The World Cup cycle each Baptism of Fire corresponds to can be found by adding 13 to its number (e.g, BoF 42 was held during WC 55).

Entry Rules

The conditions for entry into the Baptism of Fire have varied throughout the history of the tournament but were generally focused on attracting newcomers on the stage of international football. The Constitution of the World Cup Committee currently lists these conditions:

• A nation must not have previously participated in a WCC-sanctioned Baptism of Fire.
• If a nation has accrued KPB+ points, these points must have been earned in regional tournaments.

Hosting

Any nation that has previously participated in a World Cup and is signed up for the current edition of the World Cup is eligible to provide a bid to host the BoF. The host(s) of a Baptism of Fire are decided by a vote of the Executive World Cup Committee.
