Why does every country of the united kingdom home nation Have its own Football Association and team since ...?

... there are not an independent countries while other teams are not a member of FIFA such as Greenland national football team and Zanzibar national football team ,,





Why do you think is the reason??|||Greenland is not a member of FIFA and can therefore not play in the FIFA World Cup. In addition to FIFA, Greenland is neither a member of CONCACAF or UEFA. This is because Greenland cannot sustain a grass pitch to the permafrost which envelops Greenland. However, positive news has come for Greenland as FIFA and its members have approved the use of FieldTurf which could allow Greenland to host full internationals. Greenland has been given the provisional FIFA code of GRL. In more better news, they were selected to host the 2010 FIFI Wild Cup.


Zanzibar is not a member of FIFA and is only an associate member of CAF, and is therefore not eligible to enter either the World Cup or the African Nations Cup. FIFA claims that Zanzibar comes under the auspices of Tanzania, and is therefore represented at international level. However till 1964, Zanzibar was a full CAF member, but was never able to qualify to African Cup Of Nations.


The 2010 FIFI Wild Cup is a tournament of unrecognized nations that belong to the Federation of International Football Independents. It will take place in Greenland and the tournament will last from late May to early June of 2010. After this tournmanent is over, the next FIFI Wild Cup will take place in the year 2014.


The Federation of International Football Independents (FIFI) is a football league that uses nations that are not recognized globally like Tibet and Greenland. The FIFI Wild Cup is the name of the main tournaments that are members of this league, and is one of the most important tournaments in the Non-FIFA scene.





The last, and first, major tournament was done in 2006: to this edition of the tournament took part five Football Associations: Greenland, Tibet, Northern Cyprus, Gibraltar and Zanzibar.





The next edition will be in 2010 probably hosted by Greenland.
