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.
