It was the 17th World Cup tournament and involved 32 teams, of which all came through qualifying competitions at the start of the event from an original 64 national teams. The previous champions, Ruskayn, were eliminated in the Group of 32, while the host nation Vœyetska were eliminated in the quarter-finals. In the final match, Quetana defeated Iobaray 2-0 for their first title.

Venues

About one third of the matches took place in Ídolfsvinn. Several other cities in the area expressed interest in either making a bid or reportedly planning to. However, these other potential candidates were kept unknown to the public. Sjédal and Lehkinsi were chosen to accompany Ídolfsvinn because of the dense population and being reasonably close in distance. During the early stages of planning, word got out that Laðuróiý was also granted a venue for the World Cup, until problems involving Lœjka ensued. With the amount of travel already between the three selected cities, it was decided to keep the number of stadiums at three.
