At the 2024 Integration Football World Cup organized by the non-profit association "Sport spricht alle Sprachen" in Salzburg, the Serbian team was more successful than their compatriots at the European Football Championships in Germany, where they had already been eliminated. Team Serbia with coach Aleks Cokic won the World Cup final at the PSV Alpenstraße sports facility in the city of Salzburg 3:0 against Team Türkiye with team manager Tuncer Gökdemir.

Serial winners Bosnia-Herzegovina finished in third place, as the club announced on Sunday. Germany had already won the women's competition on May 30, before the tournament had to be interrupted due to bad weather, ahead of Austria and Colombia.

The aim of "Sport speaks all languages" is to improve coexistence in Austria through encounters in sport. The "local world tournament" has been held since 2006 and the motto is "Football connects". This year, 24 national teams in the men's and four in the women's competition played for better coexistence and the Integration Cup.
