Five years ago, the year when the Anima first appeared on Earth, was also the year when the World Cup was supposed to be held. It was the largest tournament in the world, and every single country tuned in for it. But the appearance of the Anima as well as the sudden emergence of superhumans threw everything about that competition into disarray.
The World Cup was not only postponed but it was canceled from that moment until further notice because of the dangers that had presented themselves. The presence of Anima in the world did not allow any organizer to have the freedom to organize such a large event without worrying about being attacked at any moment, and it also didn't give the citizens from other countries enough confidence to travel over such a long distance while knowing that their ship or plane could be attacked by an anima in the middle of the journey.
