Report

Sapmi representing the Native Sami people of Scandinavia (Northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula of Russia), won the inaugural VIVA World Cup for non-FIFA countries, small island nations, and Nations and regions that have either not gained independence or recognition from FIFA. The original plan was for a 16-team World Cup held in the Turkish-speaking Northern Cyprus, which is only officially recognised by Turkey.

However, the organisers fell out with VIVA and the event split in two. Northern Cyprus held its own ELF Cup (Egalite, Liberte, Fratenite), and VIVA rescheduled the VIVA World Cup for Occitania (the region of South France where people speak Langue d’Oc rather than French). Six teams were in the original draw, but West Papua and the team representing the Roma (European Gypsies) pulled out, and on the eve of the event Southern Cameroon were unable to travel, forfeiting all fixtures 3-0.

Sapmi defeated Occitania 7-0 and Monaco (an amateur side representing the Principality rather than AS Monaco the professional team in the French League) 14-0. After Monaco defeated Occitania 3-2, the Monegasques met Sapmi again in the final, but due to rough play had 2 players sent off, and Sapmi ran riot, scoring 21 goals to Monaco’s 1.

About the VIVA World Cup

The VIVA World Cup was first played in 2006 between countries, island nations and regions of FIFA Countries that have not gained independence or official recognition from FIFA. It was superceeded in 2014 by CONIFA.

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]
