2015 AFA Alliance World Cup

The 2015 AFA Alliance World Cup is an international men's football tournament scheduled to take place in January 2015. This will be the second Alliance World Cup in the Alliance of Independent Nations and ran by the Alliance Football Association.

The bidding process of the Alliance World Cup took place between 1 July and 1 October. Although interest was declared by nations Histalpol and Escambia, no bid was put up and so it was decided that Kingston and Boyce, previous winner, will host the Championship.

Utilising of the bidding process
A bidding process was created and utilised for this Alliance World Cup after New Holland's hosting of the 2014 AFA Alliance World Cup was strewn with issues from the member nation leaving AIN to constant delayed games.

For the bidding process, the AFA took up a method taken by FIFA where the previous continent to host a tournament would not be allowed to bid to give other continents fairer chance of hosting. Since the last tournament was held in Oceania, Oceanic and Australian nations were banned from bidding for the tournament, leaving Europe, East Asia and North America as the remaining areas allowed to host the tournament.

Bids
Histalpol was the first nation to show interest in hosting the tournament, replying to the call for bids on the day of the announcement. The idea to bid was backed by the Histalian Minister of Culture, Art and Sport pointing out that the bid would force improvement on badly maintained stadiums which were discovered by the Ministry of Health in 2013.

Escambia expressed interest in bidding the next day. Illium and Neu Westfalen both expressed interest but were not allowed to bid as they both are in the Oceania and Australia range.

Decision
After both bids remained at only expressing interest and not coming forward with a bid by mid November, it was decided to award the hosting rights of the World Cup to previous winners Kingston and Boyce.

Venues
12 Venues in 9 cities across the nation were chosen to host the games of the World Cup. Kingston's Dames Dome would host the opening match, whileas the Ringway Stadium in Manchester would be hosting the Final. Semi Finals were awarded to Portland's Excelsior Arena and the CARTERdome in Port Ruppert.
