The president of the Turkish Cypriot Football Federation, Hassan Sertoglu, said that meetings are ongoing to organize a mini football world cup in the occupied territories, according to Haber Kıbrıs, as reported by the GMP.
Recalling that the Football World Cup will be held in Qatar in November, Sertoglu said that when the World Cup starts they will have a two-week break in the league in the occupied territories and are trying to see if they can organize a "mini football world cup" with the participation of eight teams in the occupied territories as well.
"Today we made a preliminary step, tomorrow at 17.00 we will have a meeting abroad. If we can do it, we have to find money first. This will help promote the country," he added.
Sertoglu noted that the "national team of tdvk" as he called the pseudo-state was put on the shelf for four years and that they will slowly create this "national team." He said they have found sponsors, are preparing the uniforms and will present them in July, according to the newspaper.
