The Liguilla - World Cup Edition: The tournament that unites nations on the pitch!
The competitive spirit of football takes the world to the next level with La Liguilla - Mundialito Edition, the new special format that brings excitement, strategy, and international passion to the IF7KING LEAGUE. Get ready for a matchday where 12 teams will represent different nations in search of victory. We’ll tell you everything you need to know to understand this tournament and how the champion is determined.
🌍 What is the Mundialito?
Unlike the classic Liguilla with six local teams, this special edition features 12 teams, each representing a different nation. It’s a unique format that transforms each match into a duel of national teams with the goal of lifting the most coveted IF7 trophy.
Competition Format
The 12 teams are divided into two groups of 6:
- Group A: 6 teams
- Group B: 6 teams
Each team will play 5 matches within their group (round-robin), with 12-minute periods per match and a 3-minute break between matches, as in the traditional Liguilla.
How do they qualify for the knockout stages?
After the group stage, the points obtained by each team are taken into account. The top two teams in each group advance to the semifinals.
Here’s how they’ll meet in the next round:
Semifinal 1: 1st in Group A 🆚 2nd in Group B
Semifinal 2: 1st in Group B 🆚 2nd in Group A
Both semifinals will be played in 12-minute matches.
The Grand Final
The winners of the semifinals will face off in the grand final to crown the Mundialito champion.
The losers of the semifinals will play a match for third and fourth place.
Only one will lift the trophy, but everyone will experience top-level football!
