FIFCO Launches the 8th Edition of the World Corporate Champions Cup in Antalya, Türkiye
The world’s premier corporate football championship returns bigger and stronger, bringing together international corporations, business leaders, and athletes in one of the world’s leading tourism destinations.
Antalya, Türkiye – The International Federation of Corporate Football (FIFCO) is proud to announce the official launch of the 8th edition of the FIFCO World Corporate Champions Cup, which will take place from 22 to 25 October 2026in the world-renowned destination of Antalya, Türkiye.
Organized in partnership with the National Corporate League (NCL) and the Spor Turizm Birliği Derneği (Sports Tourism Association of Antalya), the 2026 edition promises to be the largest and most ambitious World Corporate Champions Cup in FIFCO history. The tournament will welcome corporate champions and business professionals from around the world and will feature several new participating countries, as well as the introduction of an exciting new competition category.
Hosted in the prestigious resort region of Antalya, the tournament further strengthens Türkiye’s position as a global destination for sports tourism, international business events, and world-class sporting competitions.
“We are delighted that Türkiye has been selected to host this prestigious international event,” said Dağder Dağlı, representative of the National Corporate League. “This tournament presents an exceptional opportunity to welcome leading corporations from around the world while showcasing Antalya’s unparalleled hospitality, sporting infrastructure, and reputation as one of the world’s premier tourism destinations.”
The local organizing committee, together with regional stakeholders, has committed to delivering a world-class experience for all participating teams, delegates, and accompanying guests.
“Our association strongly believes in the power of international sporting events to promote tourism, economic development, and cultural exchange,” said Nida Kiraz, representing the Sports Tourism Association of Antalya. “Antalya offers some of the finest hospitality facilities and sports infrastructure in the Mediterranean region and indeed the world. We are proud to welcome the global corporate football community to our city.”
For FIFCO, the return to Türkiye carries special significance. The Federation had originally selected Türkiye to host an international corporate football championship in 2020 before the event was cancelled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are thrilled to return to Türkiye after our plans in 2020 were unfortunately interrupted by the pandemic,” said Albert Zbily, President of the International Federation of Corporate Football. “This edition will be bigger, stronger, and more international than ever before. Antalya provides the perfect stage to showcase not only the growth of corporate football worldwide, but also the extraordinary potential of sport as a vehicle for business networking, employee wellness, and international cooperation.”
The championship will run from Thursday, 22 October through Sunday, 25 October 2026, culminating with the FIFCO World Corporate Champions Cup Final, which will be broadcast live worldwide through the official FIFCO TV YouTube channel, allowing supporters, corporations, and business communities across the globe to follow the action.
As the global governing body of corporate football, FIFCO continues to expand its international footprint, bringing together corporations, professionals, and institutions through the universal language of sport. The 8th edition of the World Corporate Champions Cup represents another important milestone in FIFCO’s mission to promote corporate sport, workplace wellness, business diplomacy, and international collaboration.
