The 2026 Tea Cup is set to be the second edition of the Tea Cup. The first edition was organised by Çakaristan and held in four stadiums in that country. The second edition will be held in Sanpantul, including in the Beneluccas and Sri Pashana. Planning for the second edition began before the Beneluccas and Sri Pashana were transferred from Çakaristan to Sanpantul.

Once again, the teams invited were the nations whose national drink is tea. During the first edition, it became apparent halfway through the competition that one tea-drinking nation had been overlooked. Consequently, ahead of the second edition, a thorough investigation was carried out into the national drinks of all the nations on Micras. As with the first edition, Shireroth was also invited, as the former Jingdaoese Empire is now part of Shireroth. At the very last minute before the start of the competition, the Brettish Isles joined the participating teams. The autonomous realm of the Order of the Holy Lakes was admitted on the basis of its history as a former sovereign state and its national drink. As a result, two teams from the Order of the Holy Lakes are in contention for the Tea Cup Trophy.

Results Group A

Sanpantul vs. Çakaristan

The hosts got off to a strong start in front of a sold-out Kipei Stadium. Sanpantul put Çakaristan’s Green Tigresses under pressure from the very first minute. In the 34th minute, Sanpantul’s striker broke through the defence and scored with a composed finish. Çakaristan tried to force an equaliser in the second half through Aylin Demir, but Sanpantul struck mercilessly on the counter-attack in the 82nd minute: 2–0. Sanpantul v  Çakaristan 10 October 2026 Sanpantul 2 – 0  Çakaristan  34'  82' Kipei Stadium, Kipei

Constancia vs. Sanama

A tactical battle in Sri Luthore. Sanama took a surprise lead in the 12th minute following a blunder in the Constancia defence. Constancia, fiercely supported by their travelling fans, fought their way back into the game. Elena Rojas repeated her feat from the previous tournament, curling a free-kick beautifully into the top corner in the 65th minute to make it 1–1.
