The 1976 World Cup, also called the 1976 Koyevka World Cup, was an international football tournament contested by men's national teams which took place between 9 April to 16 April, 1976 in Koyevka, UCSS (now Beleroskov). It was the fourth World Cup, a worldwide football tournament held once every year. The tournament phase involved 32 teams, of which all came through qualifying competitions at the start of the event from an original 64 national teams. At the time, it was one of the most watched sporting events in the history of the world.

31 national teams advanced through qualification competitions to join the host nation in the final tournament, with a total of 64 matches played. Drambenburg defeated Terehan in the finals, while Joraistan defeated Pongi for fourth.

Due to ongoing tensions of the Cold War, the tournament was boycotted by several nations, most prominently Zamastan and many of its allies after the Daccas hostage crisis and the shootdown of Zian Airways Flight 127, which also prompted president Elene Abotsford to end détente and impose a grain embargo on the UCSS. The 1978 Tregueux World Cup in Zamastan two years later was subsequently boycotted by the UCSS and its allies.
