[1] Initially, it was announced that the North Cyprus were to hold the inaugural VIVA World Cup tournament, organised by the NF-Board as a bi-annual competition for the best non-FIFA nations.

However, a dispute between the NF-Board and a new regime at the KTFF led to the tournament being taken away and granted to Occitania.

The NF-Board claimed that the new government of the North Cyprus insisted on restricting which nations could and could not take part.

The KTFF hope that the tournament will bring North Cyprus further into the international arena.
