ABOUT THE ALMANAC
An independent reference book designed to capture a critical cross-section of global football history without commercial distortion.
1. Purpose of the Archive
The World Cup 2026 Knockout Almanac is a highly curated, static digital directory operated by Merrifeedor. It was compiled with the primary intent of creating an unchanging, premium physical-style ledger of the initial knockout round of 32 results, the remaining scheduled matches, the progression routes for the Round of 16, and dedicated tracks for Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
By capturing the tournament status at the precise snapshot point of 30 June 2026, 18:12 CEST, we construct a reliable, non-reactive research volume. This deliberate design avoids the structural volatility, speculative shifts, and clutter of typical rapid news reporting, presenting instead a serene reading room for scholars, journalists, and football enthusiasts.
2. Non-Affiliation and Disclaimer Statement
This is an independent editorial platform. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by FIFA, the FIFA World Cup tournament organizers, any national football association, tournament sponsors, commercial rights holders, ticketing agents, or broadcasting networks. All analysis, styling choices, generic visual designs, and compiled text are original properties created solely for reference and research purposes.
3. Methodological Strictness
Our commitment to rigorous data integrity ensures that we never extrapolate, project, or invent historical details. We strictly limit all output to verified datasets from the snapshot point. Unscheduled outcomes are left blank, future pairings are framed purely within confirmed possibilities, and no sports wagering indicators are permitted to enter our editorial halls. This maintains the pure academic status of our publication.
