GALLIFREY 2026
In a surprising move FIFA, the footballing universe’s governing body, has announced today a third host for a future World Cup. 2026 will see the nation state of Gallifrey play host to the galaxy.
This announcement is not without controversy as insiders allege that backroom deals, and bribery have tainted the process. It is said that Time Corridor technologies may have been offered to the electoral board as part of some shadow agreement.
The Dalek, Cyber and Sontaran delegations deny these reports. While The Swampies continue to dance and chant for justice to be dealt out by the Mighty Kroll (the famed attacking mid-fielder for Delta Magna FC). Film at 11.

How do the Time Lords plan to deal with threats that the Shabogan Liberation Front will disrupt the Cup?

I heard a rumour that one of the teams qualifying for the tournament will be that of “The Doctor”. The team will be unique in that there will only ever be one player on the field at a time, with each 11-man member of the team playing approximately 8 and a half minutes each. Their intelligence and wit will astound their rivals, although of course there is well-documented evidence that suggests the Dalek team will be the only team standing at the end of the tournmaent.
I am hearing a number of rumours that I may be able to filter through if I am careful ...

Scott: That fringe group do not pose much of a threat according to RuSEC, the Rutan private security firm who will be working the games. Their intelligence indicates the SLF are poorly funded and without the means to cause any real issues. The Followers of Garm, on the other hand, are on RuSEC’s radar.
Rachel: This is true Borusa Docmond or The All Docs as they are fondly called are indeed vying for a spot at the Cup. But they will be playing together! But the use of all regenerations playing on the same team may be contravening FIFA regulations. FIFA is looking into it. Book makers however give The All Docs poor odds to win or even make the tourny, stating that the “Old Fella, the Hobo, and the Brash One in the ugly kit don’t have the legs to run a proper match. While a few of them may have the skillz they are not a cohesive unit, just a superteam of talented individuals”.

Rod: What about rumours that RuSec offer merely “figurehead security”, and that when real problems arise Rassilon merely raises his glove…care to comment.

Scott: That is frankly untrue. RuSEC proved their mettle when they ran security for the Summer Olympics on Zolfa-Thura. Besides Rassilon will have his gloves full with a more important task. As you know we Earthlings are used to time delays, and time shifting when it comes to World Cup broadcasts from far off countries. 6-8 or more hours off local clocks cause all kinds of problems when wishing to view the matches live. Having the games on Gallifrey will pose a much longer and harsher delay of several million years between transmission and reception of the games here on Earth. Rassilon will oversee the use of the Matrix and TimeLord telepathic powers to “CONTACT” all interested viewers where-ever they might be in the universe so they might experience the games Live! Naturally Sony, Panasonic, and the like are not happy. Rasso-Contact-o-Vision beats the heck out of SD, HD & 3D but it’s going to cost you pretty penny.

Rod: In that case, how will they handle the local blackout? Prydonians are infamously cheap and will no doubt attempt to hack into the Matrix to avoid paying entrance into the Citadel…

Not a problem Scott as the Prydonians have been labeled, listed and are being tracked as official Hooligans. The Prydonians have been officially banned from all current and future FIFA events. FIFA doesn’t like their hats.
