The ELF Cup (Equality, Liberty, Fraternity) is an international football tournament organised by the KTFF, a member of the NF-Board. Among the participants are fellow NF-Board teams, and - in the inaugural 2006 tournament - FIFA member teams from the Asian Football Confederation.

ELF Cup 2006

The Inaugural Tournament

The 2006 ELF Cup took place in the North Cyprus between November 19 and 25. Initially announced for non-FIFA teams only, the 2006 tournament also found places for three teams from the Asian Football Confederation - Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan. However, under pressure from FIFA[1], Afghanistan withdrew from the tournament and was replaced by Gǎgǎuzia. Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan sent representatives from their futsal national teams.[citation needed]

Controversy

Zanzibar forwards attack the Kyrgyz defence during the match for the 3rd place of the inaugural ELF Cup.

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 claim that the new government of the North Cyprus insisted on restricting which nations could and could not take part. The KTFF, however, claim that the NF-Board made unreasonable financial demands.[2]

In response, the KTFF announced that the ELF Cup would be held at the same time as the VIVA World Cup, and have promised to pay travelling expenses to the participants, which has attracted some NF-Board members. The KTFF hope that the tournament will bring North Cyprus further into the international arena.[3]

Competitors

 Crimea - representing the Crimean Tatars.

 Găgăuzia - an autonomous region of Moldova.

 Greenland - an autonomous region of Denmark, and nominally under the control of the Danish Football Association and is a NF-Board member.

 Kyrgyzstan - a member of the AFC and FIFA, represented here by their futsal team.

 Tajikistan - a member of the AFC and FIFA, represented here by their futsal team.

 Tibet - an autonomous region of China, fiercely independent in exile and is a NF-Board member.

 Northern Cyprus - the hosts, an internationally-unrecognised state and is a NF-Board member.

 Zanzibar - historically a part of Tanzania, but with membership of the CAF and of the NF-Board, represented here by their under-20 national team.
