The Under-21 World Cup is a spinoff tournament of the World Cup which involves only players under the age of 21 years. It is held in [Total n Utter Insanity]] every four years, usually just before the main World Cup.

The tournament has become known for its innovative approach to match result generation, incorporating tactical variations for each team. With many teams opting for extreme attacking formations - scientists in Kaze Progressa once cloned their famous striker Faiwe Irafma over twenty times and made each of the clones teenagers, using this as their Under-21 team - goals are never far away and ten goals in a game - which has only ever happened once in World Cup competition (in Rejistania's 10-1 defeat of Ravea in qualifying for WC17) - is quite common in this tournament.
