Penguin Cup

"SCORE for your TEAM"

- The tagline for the party

The Penguin Cup was a party in Club Penguin that began on June 19, and ended on July 1, 2014. It was first confirmed by Spike Hike in a Spike Saturday event.

It was a soccer-themed party to celebrate the 2014 FIFA World Cup hosted in Brazil, but it had no intention of marketing it, unlike smaller advertising events such as the Adventure Party: Temple of Fruit, which indirectly marketed Innocent Smoothies.

The winners were the Sharks (Team Blue), with Hot Sauce (Team Red) being runners-up.

Storyline
As the soccer season starts up again, Aunt Arctic and the Party Committee plan the biggest sports extravaganza the island has ever seen. Four of Club Penguin's original teams (Team Red - Hot Sauce, Team Blue - Sharks, Team Green - Space Squids, Team Yellow - Fluffies) compete for the cup in the ultimate soccer tournament.

The winning team was concluded as the Blue Team as expected by many players, having maintained a significantly higher score than any of the other teams. The Green Team notably came in 4th place, only 1 point off from being tied with the Yellow Team in 3rd place.

Trivia

 * Similar parties are the Sports Party (2006), the Penguin Games (2008), the Stadium Games (2010) and the Monsters University Takeover (2013). Also similar is the 2010 video game Club Penguin: Game Day!.
 * Prior to the party on May 1, 2014, Polo Field posted a picture of himself in real life on Twitter wearing a Beta Hat. Behind him was a whiteboard, with the words "uin Cup" written (his hat was blocking the start of the word ending with "uin".)
 * A ball in a cup was found during the Future Party and it was located at the Futuristic Clothes Shop; the Robo Shop. This foreshadowed the party.
 * It was referenced in the newspaper during the Future Party about taking a trip to the past: "You may want to visit the first ever Penguin Cup, but you'll be a bit too early for this historic occasion."
 * Aunt Arctic waddled around during the party.
 * The party's main area took place in the center of the island, the Stadium, which was remodeled for the occasion.
 * The Stadium's design was kept after the party.
 * The June 2014 Penguin Style saw the release of the Custom Soccer Jerseys.
 * Although many people across the world refer to soccer as football, the Club Penguin Times refers it as soccer. This was addressed in Ask Aunt Arctic. She was even debating calling it "foot-soccer".
 * CPSN (Club Penguin Sports Network) may be a reference to the famous ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network), which is owned jointly by The Walt Disney Company, and Hearst Corporation. The logo even looks a little similar by its italic style.
 * Members are able to get on a special igloo list if they apply the Soccer Pitch Location in their igloo.
 * Members are able to get power shoes to score more on Shootouts during this party.
 * The teams got official names and logos prior to the event.
 * Everybody could play the Shootouts minigame by equipping the ball, pressing D, and partnering with another player. Using the points they obtain, they could get special items from the interface, including special power shoes (Member's only).
 * On June 21st, 23rd, 25th, and 27th, Aunt Arctic gave players an update on the tournament when they logged in.
 * On June 29, the Sharks were announced as winners in the final update. Penguins got the 2014 Penguin Cup Blue.
 * This was the third party/event in 2014 to include Free Item Stands, the first two being the Russian Welcome Event and Puffle Party 2014.

Glitches

 * On the first day, on the "Equip" button on the Penguin Cup Ball, there was a member logo, implying it was for members. However, anyone could equip the ball. The member logo on the ball was eventually removed.
 * When you beat someone that is on the same team as you they turn red.
 * When you pick "Games" on the Map and pick Hydro Hopper, the arrow will be on the right of the Hydro Hopper.
 * When you click the ball above the penguin that wants to vs and then quickly change rooms, you will have 2 matches. The first is using the penguin with no music or sound and the second is using a bot that does not do anything.
 * When you enter the game after June 29th, there is a chance that Aunt Arctic says "**w.p2014.soccer.dialogue.update.5.undefined**". The trophy will also rapidly change colors for each team.
