Format overview

48 selecciones. 12 grupos. 1 campeón.

VORTEX World Cup Mode uses a clear structure so the tournament feels big without lasting forever. The idea is not to copy a month-long World Cup, but to turn it into a competitive, fast and organized in-person experience.

48

National teams

The tournament uses 48 national teams distributed among the participants.

12

Groups

Se arman 12 grupos de 4 selecciones. La fase de grupos define posiciones y clasificados.

32

Clasificados

The top two teams from each group and the 8 best third-place teams advance.

2

Consolas

The event can be played on two consoles side by side to reduce wait times and maintain momentum.

Source of inspiration: EA presents an international FC 26 experience with a 48-team tournament mode, group stage, knockout rounds and final. VORTEX adapts that structure for an in-person community event. View EA's official page.

Comité VORTEX

Anti-monopoly rule y juego limpio.

Because some players may have more than one national team, VORTEX applies limits to prevent a single person from dominating the final stage with several countries.

Regla VORTEX: from the quarterfinals onward, each player may keep only one active national team. If someone qualifies with more than one, they choose their main team. Remaining slots pass to the best eliminated teams belonging to other players, based on points, goal difference, goals scored and fair play.

Fase de grupos

  • National teams are distributed across different groups whenever possible.
  • The committee records results in an external VORTEX table.
  • La prioridad es evitar auto-enfrentamientos innecesarios.

Final stage

  • Ronda de 32 y octavos permiten flexibilidad según participantes.
  • From the quarterfinals onward, a maximum of one national team per player.
  • Replacements use the best eliminated teams belonging to other players.
