Background[edit]

The match was the sixth World Cup final for Vilita, who were looking for a record sixth World Cup title after winning their five previous finals in World Cups 20, 68, 77, 81 and 82. Vilita had won four of those in regular time, with the only exception being their extra time win against San José Guayabal in World Cup 77. Before the match, Vilita were tied with Starblaydia and Valanora on five titles.

The match was the first World Cup final for Farfadillis, who had made it to the stage after a fifth semifinal appearance. This marked the seventh final in a row which featured a new finalist. Beyond football, at the time of making the final Farfadillis had been undergoing severe internal turmoil for over a decade.

The match marked the fifth meeting between the two teams in a World Cup, with the teams having two wins apiece from previous encounters. Farfadillis had beaten Vilita 2-1 in World Cup 63 and 3-2 in World Cup 66, while Vilita had beaten Farfadillis 1-0 in World Cup 74 and 3-1 in World Cup 76. Of these encounters, only the last one was not a group stage match, instead being a round of sixteen match.

Farfadillis[edit]

Farfadillis entered World Cup 84 as dark horses, following the retirement of many of the players from their golden generation which had made them favorites in previous editions. Before the tournament began, the general concensus was that, much like in World Cup 83, the team was in a stage of transition. A shaky performance in the qualifiers had cemented this notion.

At the tournament, the team defeated Banija, one of the favorites, 3-2 in their opening match, thanks to goals by starting strikers Xíxì Êns and Oskar Holsteiner, as well as one goal by substitute striker Edmün Çídh. In their second match, Farfadillis won 3-1 against Zwangzug, with goals scored by Faragó rue Cazade, Xíxì Êns and Vínseslâdís Wìjìnì. The victory over Zwangzug allowed the team to advance so long as they didn't lose by three or more goals against HUElavia in the final matchday. Farfadillis went on to lose 4-3 in their match against HUElavia, with goals scored by Oskar Holsteiner and Lüí Wçêíl, who got a brace. Nonetheless, Farfadillis advanced in first place on Goals For after Banija only beat Zwangzug 1-0 in the final matchday.

Farfadillis were then paired against Group D runners-up Mriin. Farfadillis won the game 3-1. The match was notorious for featuring six penalty kicks, two for Mriin and four for Farfadillis. Solara Vol opened the score with the first penalty, but failed to score the second. Xíxì Êns missed a penalty for Farfadillis. Oskar Holsteiner took the following three penalties, scoring all three. There was controversy over the validity of some of Farfadillis' penalties, especially the one that Êns failed to score.

In the quarter-finals, Farfadillis were paired against Kita-Hinode. In a match notorious for its lack of shots, Farfadillis came out on top with a goal by Xíxì Êns scored early in the game. There were reports of riots in Farfadillis because of the team's lukewarm playing style, opting for harmless possession instead of offensive football to secure the win.

In the semi-finals, Farfadillis faced off against Eura, who had eliminated them in the previous World Cup. At the time, Eura were also the only team in history to have won the World Cup despite having eliminated Farfadillis. In one of the most exciting matches of the tournament, Farfadillis came out on top 5-2. Faragó rue Cazade and Oskar Holsteiner scored in the first half, before Xíxì Êns gave Farfadillis a definitive lead with a hat-trick. With three goals and one assist, and because of the nature of them, Xíxì Êns' performance in the semi-final is generally considered to have been the best of any Farf player in history, and indeed one of the best by any player at the World Cup. This semi-final also saw Oskar Holsteiner sent off, which meant he wouldn't be able to play in the final against Vilita.
