Overview

The Atlantian Oceania Cup of Association Football is played amongst the nations of the region of Atlantian Oceania every four years, at the same time as the World Cup. It is the premier Regional Football Tournament in Nationstates, having some of the best teams from the World Cup competing for bragging rights within the Region.

Atlantian Oceania is currently the strongest footballing Region in the World, containing the last four World Champions, defending champions Sarzonia and also Bedistan, Vilita and Crystilakere. It can be seen as equivalent to the real-life version of Europe in a footballing sense.

In its history of nine competitions the AOCAF has only been won by three different nations: NEWI Cefn Druids (four times), Starblaydia (three times) and Vilita (twice).

At the present time, AOCAF IX has been completed, hosted in Cockbill Street.

Rankings

The AOCAF has its own set of rankings separate from the KPB Rankings. This is so traditionally-strong footballing powers like Cockbill Street, The Lowland Clans and Bedistan who have recently moved to AO cannot automatically overrun nations like Lamoni who compete regularly and often in the AOCAF but not in the World Cup.
