CONIFA World Cup: Panjab take on Kabylia at Arbour Park

The 2018 CONIFA World Cup kicks off today!

CONIFA (Confederation of Independent Football Associations) is the international football confederation for teams outside FIFA. It is a global non-profit organization that supports representatives of international football teams from nations, de-facto nations, regions, minority peoples and sports isolated territories. CONIFA is strictly politically neutral, and is run by volunteers. The organization was founded on 7 June 2013, and organised its first World Football Cup in June 2014 in Östersund, Sweden.

As we previously reported, Slough Town will host three group games at Arbour Park during the competition, which starts today and finishes with the Final on Saturday 9 June. The action gets underway this afternoon at Arbour Park as Panjab take on Kabylia, kicking off at 15:00.

Tickets for the games at Slough are on sale via Eventim, the official ticketing provider for the tournament. Click here for further details and to purchase tickets. Tickets for each match are just £10 for adults and £4.50 for under 18s, with a booking fee of £1 per ticket also payable; £1 from each ticket sale will go to a team of your choice to assist in their footballing efforts. Tickets will also be available at the turnstiles on matchdays.

The 2018 World Football Cup brings together a diverse collection of CONIFA members from around the world. Participation was determined based on qualification games/tournaments, regional qualification spots and two wild cards. Sixteen teams will compete in CONIFA's third global event: Barawa, Ellan Vannin, Tamil Eelam, Cascadia, Abkhazia, Northern Cyprus, Felvidek, Tibet, Padania, Székely Land, Tuvalu, Matabeleland, Panjab, United Koreans in Japan, Western Armenia and Kabylia.
