The **214 IFA World Cup** was the 7th IFA World Cup, a quadrennial international football tournament contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of IFA. It took place in Canadina from 14 July to 14 August 214, after the country was awarded the hosting rights on 25 December 206.

The winner of the cup was Lincly.

The tournament is nicknamed the 'Lucky Cup' due to only one single direct red card being issued in the entire tournament. It was issued to Dania in the third place match.

It is often regarded that it took place from the 14th of August to the next 14th day of the month because of the year ending in 14. This has been dismissed by IFA, as they have stated it is just because it is a month after the 2018 FIFA World Cup on Earth.
