By John Leonidou
GREEK Cypriots living in Germany have been left stunned after switching over the channel only to see the ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’ playing in an international football tournament in the German city of St. Pauli.
The Turkish Cypriot football team was invited to participate in unofficial mini-football tournament called the “FIFI Wild Cup 2006” – a spoof competition of the 2006 FIFA World Cup that kicks off across Germany on June 9.
The private tournament, which includes the sides of Zanzibar, Gibraltar, Greenland, Tibet and German hosts Republik St. Pauli, is not affiliated to FIFA, which is the official world governing body for football and which recognises only Cypriot teams affiliated to the Cyprus Football Association (CFA)."
