History

Hungary 2015

In June 2014 CONIFA announced plans to organize the ConIFA European Football Cup. 3 FAs applied to host the tournament: Abkhazia, Ellan Vannin and Nagorno Karabakh.[2] Ellan Vannin was announced as host on August 6.[3] However, in March 2015, at the draw for the competition, the tournament was moved as a result of logistical issues; Székely Land was announced as the replacement host, with the competition to be held in Hungary.[4]

Northern Cyprus 2017

In January 2017 CONIFA announced via their official Twitter account that the 2017 edition of the CONIFA European Football Cup would take place in Northern Cyprus.[5] The competition would feature 8 teams, 2 more than in 2015.
