CONIFA European Football Cup

The CONIFA European Football Cup is an international football tournament organized by CONIFA, an umbrella association for states, minorities, stateless peoples and regions unaffiliated with FIFA, planned to be held every two years beginning with 2015.

3 FAs applied to host the tournament: Abkhazia, Ellan Vannin and Nagorno Karabakh.

This was announced in a backdrop of the, at the time, ongoing COVID-19 Global Pandemic.

It was suspended following the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake, to enable Northern Cyprus to focus on supporting humanitarian efforts in Turkey.
