World in One City founder 'couldn't have asked for better'

The 2024 final of the WIOC did not disappoint as it kicked off at Jericho Lane with 2022 winners England facing Libya. WIOC saw 16 teams, made up from their national heritage make it to the tournament stage to see who would be crowned 2024 Champions.

"I’m immensely proud. A dream come true. I can’t take all the credit; I got a massive team of guys who volunteer their time and effort, and do such a good job to put the show on for everybody". Libya manager Malek Elwerfalli added: "We reached the quarter finals in the first year, unfortunately we didn't make it in the second or third year. Unexpectedly, this year, we reached the final and we were under no pressure, I think that’s the main thing that brings us here.

England's chances were few and far between and they went a man down for decent. This made their task harder by losing their leading, and joint tournament top goalcorer due to some choice words aimed at the referee.
