Bids
Five Internatian national associations signalled to CIF their interest in staging I Internatia Cup:
Novatlantida
The Novatlantean authorities first expressed interest in hosting the first Internatia Cup in 24 April, with the bid being confirmed a week later, in 3 May. The bid has caused a lot of controversy in the country, with accusations of being a ploy of the Government to suppress criticism against it and the nation's Royalty. The President of Novatlantida's Football Federation has denied this, claiming the decision to bid for hosting the Cup isn't political.
Planned venues:
- Platonia: Olympic Stadium
- Platonia: Platon Stadium
- Regalia: Regal Villa
- Frisnel: Lizap Field
- Lilse: Lince Road
- Flakovia: Municipal Stadium
- Alisea: Alis Park

Sibinia
Sibinia's official bid for hosting the I Internatia Cup was revealed on 25 April 2013. It is considered to aim at promoting Sibinia as a tourist and investment destination worldwide and repairing the country's reputation, devastated in the last three decades by a string of civil and ethnic conflicts and ruthless authoritarian dictatorships. The Sibinian bid is unique for including the country's two overseas territories - Almarania and Saída. The bid includes some really large-scale projects, like the innovative Alpine Dome in Saimanabad, a facility with a capacity of over 90,000 people and a daring design, created by some of the leading Internatian architects. According to the Sibinian Football Federation (AFS) the project is well-supported financially by the state and well-received by the population, which would guarantee its ultimate success.

- Harmir: Harmir National Stadium
- Monicia: Montana Stadium
- Alsace: King Matthias I Stadium
