Statement re #FIFAarrests

We have obviously seen through many media sources reports of an ongoing investigation of alleged corruption within FIFA, a situation we do not want to or should comment on.

However we would like to stress that CONIFA has been incorporated and established with extreme corporate governance and very high moral values to ensure that neither now or in the future any allegations of corruption or misdemeanors could be levied at ourselves or our members.
Our organization is there foremost to provide the opportunity for Countries, Regions, Ethnic People outside FIFA to represent themselves on the International Stage in football.

CONIFA Summer 2015

We from CONIFA are proud to announce that we overcome all hurdles we had in our way recently and can now publish plenty of informations about an action-packed summer season to come.

The main CONIFA event 2015 is surely the European Football Cup 2015 in Debrecen, which will see 8 of the best teams outside FIFA in Europe and will be played from 17.06. to 21.06.. Further info on the first ever European Championship to be played outside FIFA can from now on be found here. This page will be regularly updated and translated in several languages before the event kicks off.

In preparations to the European Football Cup 2015 many of the competing teams will play friendly matches and tournaments to test their squad and include the non-European CONIFA teams in the loop.
During the next week we will focus on the preparations and trainings of the teams and will try to analyze their current form in the series “Road to Debrecen”, to be published here.

General information about the two biggest friendly tournaments 2015 can be found on the page about the Benedikt Fontana Cup and the Niamh Challenge Cup. Both tournaments will also act as qualifier tournaments to the World Football Cup 2016.

Last but not least CONIFA is very happy to announce that it grew again lately, with the Football Federation of Western Armenia joining the family. We are very much looking forward to see this new member in action as soon as possible!
