'''World Cup 86''' is an international football tournament hosted by [[Drawkland]] and [[Newmanistan]], featuring 182 entrants aiming to be among the 32 to qualify for the [[World Cup]] finals.

==Host selection==
The selection process was notable for the variety of competition formats and schedules proposed by bidders, following widespread discussions among football associations about the need to examine a range of options to deal with fixture congestion. This came as a reaction to the length of the [[World Cup 85]] qualifiers, which had the longest qualifying period involving the most matches in the World Cup's history. The vote required three rounds to obtain a majority for the winning bid, held according to a ranked-ballot voting system. Eliminated options' votes were reallocated among the other candidates according to voter preferences specified on the ballot.
