The 2017 World Cup, also called the 2017 Rhaga World Cup, was an international football tournament contested by men's national teams and took place between 1 April to May 2nd, 2017 in Rhaga, Emmiria. It was the 39th World Cup, a worldwide football tournament held once every year. It was the first time the championships had been held in Emmiria. 32 teams, including the host nation, reached the group stage. The tournament was held in three venues in Rhaga, and two stadiums in the nearby cities of Bareynah and Zahensahr. Latilli won the final game against North Kandson, beating them 3-1. Beatavic beat Janapa in the third-place match 2-0.

The choice to host the World Cup in Rhaga initially attracted significant criticism, with concerns raised over Rhaga's desert climate and continued controversy over the treatment of women. However, WCO President Matheus Fontes pressed the vote to host in Rhaga through the organization. President Khayahad al-Azari's administration oversaw major cultural and political reforms prior to the World Cup to make the appearance more acceptable for global audiences, and the tournament is credited with having boosted Emmiria's standing on the global stage.
