The Alatador Cup was announced by Neopets on the 31st May 2006 to commence one the 2nd June. It is a sporting event with teams from sixteen Neopian worlds participating. The Altador Cup appears to be made to co-incide with the FIFA* World Cup in Germany of 2006, and if the golden orb seen in the preview trailer is indeed the 'cup' itself, it bares remarkable resemblence to the actual World Cup.
From what has been seen so far, the gameplay appears to be some sort of combination of soccer and handball, and furthermore, the ball appears to be a rolled up Neopet- or Petpet-type creature.
Participating Worlds
According the teaser text on the Altador Cup page, sixteen Neopian worlds will be participating, each sending a team to compete in the Colleseum in Altador.

- Tyrannia
- Mystery Island
- Sakhmet
- Virtupets Space Station
- Scurvy or Krawk Island
- Kiko Lake
- Roo Island
- Kingdom of Brightvale
- Haunted Woods
- New Maraqua

- Citadel of Darigan
