The IV Internatia Cup is the 4th Internatian Championship for men's national football teams organised by CIF. It took place in Alteus from 1 September to TBA.

For the first time, the Internatian Championship final tournament was contested by 55 teams, all of the countries in Interaia particiapting for the firrst time. having been expanded from the 16-team format that was used during the first Championship. Under this new format, the finalists contested a group stage consisting of six groups of four teams, followed by a knockout stage including three rounds and the final. As hosts, Alteus have automatically qualified for the knockout stage.

Bid process

Alteus was the only nation who placed a bid before the deadline at 23 August 2016, and therefore earned the right to host the tournament.

Finals format

The format for the final tournament remained the same as the 2nd Championship. The nine groups (A to I) contained six teams each, with the top two from each group going through to the knockout stage. The best third-ranked team would also progress and the remaining 8 3rd placed teams would then play for the final two spots, leaving 16 teams going into the round of 16 knockout stage, ahead of the usual quarter-finals, semi-finals and final, and will result in 39 teams going out at the group stage.

Tiebreakers

If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following tie-breaking criteria will be applied:

1. Higher number of points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
2. Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question;
3. Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;
4. If, after having applied criteria 1 to 3, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 9 apply;
5. Superior goal difference in all group matches;
6. Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
7. If only two teams have the same number of points, and they are tied according to criteria 1–6 after having met in the last round of the group stage, their ranking is determined by a penalty shoot-out (this criteria is not used if more than two teams have the same number of points).
8. Fair play conduct (1 point for a single yellow card, 3 points for a red card as a consequence of two yellow cards, 3 points for a direct red card, 4 points for a yellow card followed by a direct red card);
9. Position in the CIF national team coefficient ranking system.
