Report

Padania won the CONIFA European Football Cup in 2017, defeating the hosts Northern Cyprus on penalties after a 0-0 draw. Irish interest in the competition came in the form of Ellan Vannin, the Manx name for the Isle of Man, and one of six Celtic Nations in Europe.

Padania is an alternative name for the once-Celtic region of Northern Italy around the Pado Valley, including Veneto, Trentino, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Vallee d’Aoste, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Piedmont, all f whom have significant Friulian, German, or French-speaking minorities.

Szekely Land, Karpatalya, and Felvidek are the Hungarian names for the Hungarian-speaking minority areas of Romania, Ukraine, and Slovakia respectively.

Northern Cyprus is an Independent Turkish-speaking country recognised only by Turkey. South Ossetia and Abkhazia are independent, once minority-areas of Georgia, that are recognised only by Rissia and its allies such as Venezuela and Nicaragua.

Report

The Vatican City plays its own brand of soccer, with a blue card introduced in the 8-team Vatican City Football League to combat persistent fouling, whereby a player receiving the card spends 5 minutes in the sin-bin.

It is not a member of FIFA, one of nine sovereign Nations that aren’t, but has played International matches against Monaco (five times, losing every time, and only scoring one goal), as well as matches against club sides, including German Anarchist team St. Pauli, and other German teams Leisweiler Elf, losing 8-1, and Lutherstadt Wittenberg, a 1-0 win.

It has also played Swiss side SV Vollmond, winning 5-1 and Liechtenstein’s 8th Division side Azzurri Schaan, losing 8-1. In 2019 the Vatican City men’s team played Raetia, a Swiss province that speaks the fourth language in Switzerland (German, French and Italian are the other three), although it has never entered the CONIFA World Cup alongside non-recognised countries such as Northern Cyprus and Kurdistan.

In 2019 the Vatican City launched a Women’s National Team, with the blessing of Pope Francis, although the team’s first match against Austrian team Mariahilf was cancelled at the last minute due to protests in the stands against the Roman Catholic Church’s stance on Gays and Women.

Contrary to popular belief, anyone who is resident in 801-strong population of the Vatican City is eligible to play in both the League and National teams, not just Catholic Priests. [References: 1-2]

Report

Santos, with star attraction, Pele, went on a 10-game month-long tour of North America during June and July 1968. The tour started with three games against Italian side Napoli in New York and Toronto, attracting crowds of 43,000 at Yankee Stadium, home of Baseball’s New York Yankees, before moving on to play Midwestern teams St. Louis Stars and Kansas City Spurs, and then on to the West Coast where they played Mexican side Necaxa in Los Angeles, and then back to the East Coast to play Boston Beacons, winning all seven games before perhaps tiredness kicked in and the effects of so much travel, as they lost their next two games to Cleveland Stokers and New York Generals, before finishing up the trip with a win against Washington Whips.

The North American Soccer League had been established earlier that year, with the help of FIFA and the USSF, and was the first great attempt at bringing Professional Soccer to North America. The League lasted until 1983. Santos were one of the top sides in the World at the time, and rivaled unofficial World Club Champions, Racing Club of Argentina. They are based in the City of Santos in the Brazilian State of Sao Paulo.
