Introduction

This unique tournament began after World Cup VIII concluded, although all inaugural continental tournaments were played, as well as World Cup IX and Confederations Cup I while this was ongoing. Making up the field were all nations who participated in World Cup VIII along with Burkina Faso, Cape Verde Islands, Panama, and Suriname. Teams were seeded to determine who would get a bye into the second round as the top 37, but each round's draw was random. The format was a 'first to 10 goals' series where the winners advanced to the next round and the losers were eliminated. Each series had as many games as needed for one team to reach 10 goals.
