Report

Padania won the CONIFA European Football Cup in 2017, defeating the hosts Northern Cyprus on penalties after a 0-0 draw. Irish interest in the competition came in the form of Ellan Vannin, the Manx name for the Isle of Man, and one of six Celtic Nations in Europe.

Padania is an alternative name for the once-Celtic region of Northern Italy around the Pado Valley, including Veneto, Trentino, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Vallee d’Aoste, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Piedmont, all f whom have significant Friulian, German, or French-speaking minorities.

Szekely Land, Karpatalya, and Felvidek are the Hungarian names for the Hungarian-speaking minority areas of Romania, Ukraine, and Slovakia respectively.

Northern Cyprus is an Independent Turkish-speaking country recognised only by Turkey. South Ossetia and Abkhazia are independent, once minority-areas of Georgia, that are recognised only by Rissia and its allies such as Venezuela and Nicaragua.
