The 2024 DSAFF Comrades Cup, also known as 2024 Comrades Cup or simply Vicures Islands 2024, is the 2024 edition of the Comrades Cup, organised by the football federation of Delusia, the Democratic Socialist Assembly Football Federation (DSAFF). It is currently underway, having started on 22 June 2024 in Vicures Islands.
History
Continuing its growth and expansion, DSAFF decided to once again organize a Comrades Cup with 32 teams, following the previous edition. Thirty teams responded to the call, while two (UFS Mexico and Inglaland) qualified through the COTEFU qualification pathway. Inglaland returned to compete in a DSAFF tournament two years after the 2022 Comrades Cup.
Among these thirty-two teams, eleven made their debut in a DSAFF Comrades Cup: Montecrux, Heelisweerde, New Angus, Skøvgard, Rocheaux, Otterland, Thonburi, The Washington Federation, Kurdiastan, Cervetia and Kùrtàry. Of these eleven, seven were making their absolute debut in a DSAFF competition: New Angus, Rocheaux, Otterland, Thonburi, The Washington Federation, Cervetia, and Kùrtàry.
Host nation

The period for submitting a bid to host the fourth edition of the Comrades Cup to the DSAFF Congress began on February 13, 2024. Following their victory in the 2023 DSAFF Frost Cup, the football federation of the Vicures Islands submitted their bid on the same day. The deadline for bid submission was set for May 15, 2024, and as the only nation to submit a bid, the Vicures Islands officially became the host country for the 2024 Comrades Cup.
The competition's logo incorporates various national elements. The main symbol is the Vicurian Wolf, accompanied by the Cross of the Order of Christ and the Heart of Saint Albert. After three years since the last occurrence (the polar bear Hamäkal in the 2021 DSAFF Frost Cup), a DSAFF competition reintroduced official mascots: Romeu and Grazi. The wolf Romeu was named in honor of the Vicurian poet Romeu Sodrè, while Maruese Zorro Grazi was named in honor of the Vicurian painter Graziele Perach.
