The 2020 CONIFA World Football Cup would have been the fourth edition of the CONIFA World Football Cup, an international football tournament for states, minorities, stateless peoples and regions unaffiliated with FIFA organized by CONIFA. Somaliland were originally announced as the tournament host, but were forced to withdraw as hosts in August 2019.[1] It was later announced that the tournament would be held in Skopje, the capital city of North Macedonia, with no CONIFA member as designated host.[2] However, on 23 March 2020 CONIFA announced that the tournament would not be taking place in North Macedonia from 30 May – 7 June because of the coronavirus pandemic.[3] The Tournament was eventually cancelled by CONIFA with the organisation outlining plans to expand continental tournaments.[4]
