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.
