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 many recent World Champions: Casari, Starblaydia, Bedistan Sarzonia, Vilita and Crystilakere. It can be seen as equivalent to the real-life version of Europe in a footballing sense.

In its history of 18 competitions the AOCAF has only been won by eight different nations: Starblaydia (five times), NEWI Cefn Druids and Vilita (four times, though twice as Vilita on its own and twice united as 'Vilita & Turori'), Lamoni & Hypocria (twice), Sarzonia, Fmjphoenix and Bettia (all once).

At the present time, AOCAF 20 has completed.

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 and Pacitalia who compete regularly and often in the AOCAF but not in the World Cup.
