The 2012 SIFE World Cup will provide a showcase of the impact that SIFE teams are achieving around the world and will bring together an international network of more than 3,000 student, academic, and business leaders from more than 38 countries.
Every country that operates a SIFE national organization is eligible to send a national champion team to the SIFE World Cup, where they will present the results of their community outreach projects to panels of business leaders serving as judges.
Competing teams will be placed into eight opening round leagues. From there, two teams from each opening league will advance to the semi-final round of competition where, through a drawing of time-slots, the teams will place themselves into four semi-final leagues. Emerging from the semi-final round of competition will be four teams who will draw for time-slots in the final round of competition and the chance to be named the SIFE World Cup Champion.
In addition to the competition, events such as the culture fair provide an exhibit of the rich diversity of cultures represented within SIFE. Multiple receptions, lunches and dinners, along with special events such as the Top to Top and Top to Future-Top Forums further enhance the opportunities for participants to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another.
