The World Cup of Pokemon 2026

Logo coming soon :tm:

Hosted by ken, Vertigo, Zac​

Another year, more SVOU (and friends). With over 500 players on rosters last year, we're on track so far to surpass that number yet again. Midwest may have caught the trophy-to-relegation bug from Spain, being the first US team to start in qualifiers since I believe US Metro in 2017. If captain signups are anything to go by, qualifiers are set to be almost as heated as the main event, with 18 current countries/regions claiming they have what it takes to succeed.

Italy is back on top, taking the trophy for the first time since 2020 last year, earning the first repeat title this decade. You have to wonder if they're coming in on a high or with some nerves, however, since the last two champions have both been relegated in their next appearances. Will US Midwest make their way back to the main stage? Will any of the newly (re)formed teams steal the main character energy and push others out of their way while fighting to reach the top? As always, stay tuned and

FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY!!!

BOLIVIA NATIONAL RECRUITMENT INITIATIVE





At Bolivia, we are currently expanding our roster as part of a long-term strategic vision focused on growth, identity, and international representation. We are actively seeking individuals who are willing to contribute to a structured, ambitious, and culturally driven environment.





Our goal is to represent our history and traditions.





We are not simply building a team — we are building a legacy. Bolivia carries a unique historical weight, shaped by resilience, adaptation, and a deep connection to its roots. Every individual joining this initiative is expected to understand that they are not just participating in a project, but becoming part of something larger than themselves.





Candidates are not required to have extensive prior experience. Whether you are a developing player, someone who has only recently been introduced to the game, or even an enthusiast who deeply admires the nation of Bolivia and everything it represents, you are welcome to apply.





We value:





  • Commitment over raw skill
  • Discipline over ego
  • Consistency over occasional brilliance
  • Respect for structure and leadership
  • Alignment with long-term objectives







Additionally, we recognize that true dedication sometimes requires unconventional levels of commitment. Individuals who demonstrate a strong willingness to embrace the full Bolivian experience — including, but not limited to, adapting to challenging environments and hypothetical relocation to high-altitude regions (such as the historic silver mining city of Potosí) — will be viewed favorably within our evaluation process.





Our organizational culture is built on:





  • Collective identity
  • Strategic patience
  • Continuous improvement
  • Cultural pride







This is not an opportunity for those seeking immediate recognition or short-term gains. This is an environment for individuals who understand that meaningful achievements are built over time, through discipline, resilience, and alignment with a greater purpose.





If you believe you have the mindset, the respect, and the commitment required to be part of this initiative, we encourage you to take the next step.

I'm captaining team Vietnam for this WCoP, and we're looking for new players. If you're confident in your playing ability, shoot me a dm on discord (jc_breezy) or you can contact my unpaid intern Genhui (genhui on discord) about your favorite anime, I think he appreciates it. Việt Nam vô địch vô đối.

I won,t let you steal players from Team Africa. Africa is not a country, only South Africa has research facilities on Antactica. So, sorry, you are not getting players from Sudan, Nigeria or Libya. GL with your team anyway.
