The 2026 Intermicronational Haxball World Cup will be played over HaxBall, a top-down football-inspired browser game. Matches will be held in a one-on-one format, with each micronation being represented by an individual player. It is envisioned that the tournament will have a multi-stage format with an initial group stage and a subsequent single-elimination knockout stage.[1]
The idea for the MicroWorld Cup originated from the then-Acting Prime Minister of HasanistanHasan Çakar, who wanted to both organise a HaxBall tournament for micronations and develop a "micronational counterpart" to the FIFA World Cup.[1]
