Fringe Football

Karpatalya v Northern Cyprus, CONIFA Final at Enfield Town FC

I have been exploring the fringes of football, from CONIFA to the Homeless World Cup, via struggling African teams, Oceanian entities battles with FIFA, pseudo-state entities struggling for representation, and teams that simply operate outside of the norm. Below are links to the various articles I’ve produced:
