The International Football Cup (IFC) is an annual club football exhibition competition organised by the International Football Cup Committee, and features clubs from Averan and Zurope playing pre-season friendly matches.
Introduced in 2001 as the Football Cup, it was initially a straight knockout tournament open only to the league winners and runners-up from Aligasia and Bobania. The competition was expanded in 2006 to allow teams from elsewhere in Averan to participate, before being rebranded in 2010 with the introduction of Zuropean teams.
In its present format, the IFC begins in early July with a group stage where the five permanent IFCC members—Bobania City, Canburgh United, Derzenburg, Edena Warriors, and Raedburg—are joined by three invited clubs (two from Averan and one from Zurope), drawn into two groups of four teams to play each other in a single round-robin system. The two group winners and two runners-up proceed to the semi-finals, with the two remaining teams contesting the final.
Zitran clubs have the highest number of victories (11 wins), followed by Bobania (5 wins) and Aligasia (3 wins). The competition has been won by five clubs, four of which have won it more than once and three successfully defended their title. Raedburg is the most successful club in the tournament's history, having won it 11 times, all consecutively. Raedburg are the reigning champions, having beaten Atlético Santíga 4–0 in the 2020 final.
