As soccer powerhouses like Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay gear up for the prestigious Copa America tournament this weekend and England, France, Germany and Spain prepare to compete at Euro 2016 just a few days later, a World Cup is already under way — albeit with slightly lesser known “national” sides like Kurdistan, Somaliland and Northern Cyprus — in the autonomous region of Abkhazia in eastern Europe. A total of 12 teams will be taking part in the second ever soccer World Cup organized by the Confederation of International Football Associations (CONIFA) for unrecognized states. The first edition of the CONIFA World Cup was held in 2014 in Sweden’s Östersund, when the County of Nice defeated the Isle of Man to be crowned inaugural champions.
