French Territory Cup

About 11 national teams from France's overseas territories are invited to this new tournament, which consists of three stages. It begins with a qualifying knockout round for the four lowest-ranked teams, leading into an 8-team group stage. The winners of the two groups progress to the championship match, while the remaining teams vie for placements from 3rd to 8th in the playoffs. This tournament is always hosted in France, even though the French national team will never participate in the tournament.

Competition Editor

In the "Host Conditions" tab, a new field has been introduced that allows last year's hosts to be considered for selection in the current year.
