Rabat – The Kings World Cup Clubs Italy 2026 has reached its decisive second round, as teams from Europe, Latin America and the MENA region compete for places in the knockout stage.

Mexico’s representatives are Aniquiladores FC and Atlético Parceros FC, while DR7 and FWZ come from Kings League MENA. Germany has No Rules FC, and Karasu represents the French competition.
The tournament brings together teams linked to several prominent footballers, streamers and online personalities. Furia is associated with Neymar, Atlético Parceros with James Rodríguez, Porcinos with Ibai Llanos and Ultimate Móstoles with DjMaRiiO.
How the format works
Every club began in Round 1. Winners moved into the upper side of Round 2, where a second victory secured direct qualification for the quarter-finals.
Teams that lost their opening match entered the lower route. A second defeat meant immediate elimination, while victory provided one final opportunity in the Last Chance round.
The Last Chance matches on July 30 will determine the remaining four quarter-finalists. The last eight will be played on July 31, followed by the semi-finals and final on August 1.
