The "other" FIFA

in huge success and delirium tremens World Cup, I decided to write something about football that exists beyond the Cup. As you know (or not) FIFA has more members than the UN.

there for Cup UEFA regions where amateurs participating in different European regions (Veneto, Moravia, Basque Country, Lower Silesia, Oltenia). In Spain, the Catalan regional teams and the Basque country (they are the strongest although almost every region has one) arm every so friendly with top-level powers like Brazil, Argentina and other national teams.
