FIFI Wild Cup

FIFI Wild Cup

The FIFI Wild Cup is the Alternative World Cup of Association football run by FIFI "(Federation of International Football Independents)". FIFI is a body made up of countries not recognized by FIFA and those whose logistics preclude them from playing representative football. Millerntor-Stadion hosted all the tournament matches.

The 2006 Inaugural tournament was sponsored by an on-line Gambling consortium who saw this tournament as a way to gain publicity for itself. Hosted in St. Pauli, Germany, this tournament enabled political entities to play in international competition.In order to get the tournament started, organizer Jorg Pommeranz said FIFI had to fight heavyweights such as FIFA and the Chinese embassy in Germany. Chinese officials sent a letter to FIFI, demanding it dis-invite Tibet. FIFI refused. Then FIFA declared it had the right to cancel these matches. FIFI fought back again. It also required some extra work getting visas for the Northern Cypriot players to enter Germany. [cite web
