FIFA
CLOWN WORLD
CUP

★ The Greatest Show in Football ★

Eleven clowns. One ball. Ninety minutes. Every team is somehow the host. The trophy is comically oversized and made of foam. The referees got the rulebook from a pinata.

The Contract

Stamped by the head clown, who is also the referee, who is also the goalkeeper, who is also you.

— FOUR MATCHES, ONE TOURNAMENT —

The Bracket

All matches end on penalties. All penalties are missed. All trophies are awarded anyway.

Host Country
vs. Other Host Country

Both teams were granted hosting rights. Both stadiums are inflatable. The opening ceremony features a juggling act and a man on stilts. Final score: also juggling.

VAR Reviewers
vs. Common Sense

Common Sense did not show up. VAR Reviewers won by reviewing themselves. The review of the review is still pending. The match ball has been put on trial.

The Mascot
vs. A Pigeon

The mascot, a large foam orb with eyes, attempted a header. The pigeon escaped to the upper deck. The match was abandoned out of respect for the pigeon.

The Final
vs. The Final

Both finalists are the same team. Both jerseys are made of velcro. The cup is filled with confetti. The confetti is also velcro. Nobody knows the score. Everybody celebrates.

Eleven clowns.
One orb.
Ninety glorious minutes.

The pitch is laid out beneath a striped tent. The substitutes wait in a tiny car. The bench is shorter than a regulation bench should be, but the bench is also the only bench, so everyone agrees not to mention it.

$CLOWN is the official* (not at all official) memecoin of the Clown World Cup. It is not affiliated with any actual federation, governing body, or tournament. It is, however, very fun.

* "Official" in the carnival sense, meaning printed on a small flyer that fell out of a popcorn box.

The match ball
is wearing a
clown nose.

It was not supposed to. It was supposed to be a standard, regulation, pentagons-and-hexagons piece of equipment. Somewhere between the airport and the locker room, the ball made a choice.

The referees agreed not to comment. The captains shook hands. The crowd cheered. The match began. Nothing has been the same since.
