The Tea Cup is an international female football competition for nations whose national drink is tea. The initiative was taken by Çakaristan and organised the tournament in cooperation with the Fédération Micraise de Football Féminin. The tournament's matches would be played in four stadiums in four different cities around Çakaristan.
As only tea nations were invited, there were five nations: Çakaristan, Constancia, Hurmu, Lac Glacei and The Hexarchy. This was supplemented by a former nation, the Jingdaoese Empire, now as Greater Kildare part of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth. As well as the unincorporated territory of Sanpantul was invited, being a former independent tea nation.
The tournament's main sponsor is the Köping Tea Company.
Organisation
Venues
The selected stadiums were also part of the bid for the 2025 FMF World Cup. The stadiums with less than 30,000 seats were immediately excluded. Through the courts, the owner of the Kadim Tarlabaşı Stadium tried to be selected after all, as the stadium is being renovated to potentially provide 32,000 seats. But the court turned it down because it was not certain how many seats would eventually be provided, the renovation was not yet finished and the selection was made based on the current available stadiums. After all, elsewhere in the country there were stadiums under construction where more than 30,000 seats might also be available.
To the dismay of Lucy Myksos, the ÇaýDome in Chaybajar, her hometown, was not selected. Cities and stadiums were chosen that were relatively near each other and could be reached by train. The Çakari National Railways is organising the ‘Cup Express’, as it was intended at the 2025 FMF World Cup.
