The Sápmi national football team is a national football (soccer) team representing the Sámi people, who inhabit northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. The team is not a member of UEFA or FIFA, and therefore do not participate in their competitions. The goal of the Sámi Football Association, which controls the team, is to gain official status. Since 2003 they have been a member of NF-Board, which organizes matches for non-official national teams. Sápmi footballers who have resisted the call to play for the national side, instead preferring to play for traditional Scandinavian teams, include Morten Gamst Pedersen and Sigurd Rushfeldt. Steffen Nystrøm, of Moss FK has played for the Norway under-21 team, and made his Sápmi debut in the VIVA World Cup. They participated in the KTFF 50th Anniversary Cup in 2005 in Northern Cyprus. They lost both matches against Northern Cyprus and Kosovo, finishing third. Some Sapmi players have played for both Sapmi and their own nation. For example, Tom Høgli played for the Norway U-21 team and played for the Norwegian senior team on August 20, 2008 against Ireland.
[edit] AchievementsIn November 2006, Sápmi took part in - and won - the inaugural VIVA World Cup in Occitania, organised by the NF-Board. Although the competition was hit by withdrawals of many of the major players in non-FIFA football, the Sápmi overcame both the host nation and Monaco to win the trophy, scoring an impressive 42 goals in 3 games.
