Long Beach soccer players, would you join a tournament where you represent your country?

Hi everyone,
I have seen people here asking about local soccer leagues and ways to get back into playing, so I wanted to share something we are building and get honest feedback from the Long Beach community.

It is called Fans World Cup.

The idea is to organize an 11v11 soccer tournament in Southern California where everyday players form teams and represent their countries.

The message behind it is bridging borders with soccer AKA the beautiful game.

We want it to be competitive, but we also want it to help people meet other players, connect with their communities, and play for something that feels more personal than a normal team name.

This is still in the early stages. It is not currently a weekly Long Beach league, and we are still collecting interest before finalizing teams and locations.

Early signups will help us understand which countries have enough players and whether areas like Long Beach should be prioritized as the tournament develops.

You can learn more and show interest at FansWorldCup.com.

Would you consider joining something like this?
Which country would you represent?
What information would you need before deciding whether to participate?

Any honest feedback is appreciated. We want to understand whether this is something local players would genuinely care about before we take it further.
