Three years after the World Cup in Milan, the KOA returned to Italy, this time in Rome. 40 players participated in the tournament.

Perhaps it was fate that decided that Gianluca's dominance would end in his own hometown. Spyros Paraschis once again found himself against three Italians in the semi-finals, and once again he managed to triumph, this time without losing a single match. In the final, he defeated Gianni Torchio who became the first player to lose two Kick Off 2 World Cup finals. Gianni was also the Top Scorer of the competition, while Gianluca Troiano settled for the bronze medal and the Best Defense award.

 

Note: The 40 players were divided into four groups of 10. The top four players from each group qualified to Round 2, those who finished in places 5-8 competed for places 17-32, while those who finished in places 9-10 faced each other in a league for places 33-50.

Note that Mark B did not show up for the 2nd day of the tournament, and his matches were forfeited by 0-2.
