The cup is made up of teams of nations, dependencies, unrecognized states, minorities, stateless peoples, regions and micronations not affiliated to FIFA.[1]
History
UNPO Cup 2005
In cooperation with the N.F.-Board, the inaugural UNPO Cup was held on 25 June 2005 in The Hague, at the Sportcomplex De Verademing. The UNPO declared that the tournament would coincide with its 7th General Assembly,[2][3] and that it would be a preparatory tournament for the VIVA World Cup.[1]
In the semi-finals, the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and South Moluccas won their matches against Southern Cameroons and West Papua on penalties, with 2–2 and 1–1 respectively. In the championships, South Moluccas won against Chechnya 3–1.[4][5][6]
