The '''World Military Cup''' is an international association football competition contested by national military teams. Organized by the International Military Sports Council (CISM), the tournament was first held in 1946 under the title '''World Military Championship'''. The name was changed to the World Military Cup ahead of the 2001 edition.

In 1995, the Military World Games—a multi-sport event for military personnel—was established, and the football championship became an integrated discipline within the Games. Despite this integration, the football tournament continues to be organized as a standalone biennial event under CISM governance.

A counterpart competition for women, the '''World Military Women's Championship''', was established in 2001. Both tournaments remain key fixtures in CISM's sporting calendar, promoting camaraderie and sportsmanship among armed forces globally.

==History== The inaugural World Military Championship was hosted in Prague, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic) in 1946, organized by the Armed Forces Sports Council (AFSC). In 1948, the AFSC was restructured and renamed the International Military Sports Council (CISM), which has governed the competition since. Great Britain won the first title, defeating host nation Czechoslovakia in the final, where the latter finished as runners-up.<ref name="CISM history">{{cite news| url=http://www.milsport.one/cism-world-football-cup| publisher=CISM| title=CISM World Football Cup| access-date=21 November 2016| archive-date=23 December 2016| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161223031035/http://www.milsport.one/cism-world-football-cup| url-status=live}}</ref>

==Format== Since 2013, the World Military Cup has been restructured into two distinct competitions. The '''CISM World Football Cup''', held on a four-year cycle, debuted in its current format in 2013. Its second edition took place from 23 to 28 January 2017 in Muscat, Oman.

Separately, the Military World Games—a multi-sport event organized by the International Military Sports Council (CISM)—features a football tournament branded as the '''Military World Championship'''. This competition also follows a four-year cycle, running concurrently with the Games.<ref name="CISM history" />

==Qualifications== Teams qualify for the World Military Cup through continental tournaments organized by each confederation under CISM governance. The qualifying competitions are as follows: {| class=wikitable !Confederation !Championship |- |Asia |Asian Military Qualifying Tournament |- |Africa |African Military Cup |- |Americas |Americas Military Cup |- |Europe |European Military Qualifying Tournament |} These tournaments determine the regional representatives for the final World Military Cup event.

==Results== ===Men=== ====Military World Championship==== A football tournament has been held as part of the Military World Games every four years since 1995. This competition is recognized as part of the World Military Championship.
