Contents What is Forza Horizon 5\u2019s World Cup event? The Forza Horizon 5 World Cup is a 4-week event that pits all the world\u2019s countries against one another. Playground Games want players from England, Spain, France, Italy, the USA, and a whole lot more to compete against each other to win a grand prize at the end for their respective nation. To signify allegiances and to actually earn points, players need to decide which country they will side with. If a Spanish person uses an Italian car to win a race, then it will be Italy who gets the overall points for the World Cup, not Spain. So it does create an interesting dilemma for players to see if they opt for patriotism over favoritism. Each time a player completes a Festival Playlist event like a Trial or a Championship, the player can earn a point for the country where the car originated from. For example, using an Audi will earn a point for Germany. When does Forza Horizon 5\u2019s World Cup event update start?
