  • CONIFA As a Platform for Football Diplomacy
    The Hague Journal of Diplomacy 15 (2020) 329-354 brill.com/hjd Para- and Proto-Sports Diplomacy of Contested Territories: CONIFA as a Platform for Football Diplomacy Ramesh Ganohariti School of Law and Government, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland [email protected] Ernst Dijxhoorn Institute of Security and Global Affairs, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands [email protected] Received: 26 November 2019; revised: 21 April 2020; accepted: 23 May 2020 Summary International relations and sport have become increasingly intertwined, with sport and sports events being used for various diplomatic and political goals. Yet, member- ship of FIFA and the IOC is largely organised along lines of sovereign statehood. Like other fora of diplomacy, this excludes contested territories that wish to engage in di- plomacy for various political, economic, and cultural reasons. Yet, these entities can engage in international sports (diplomacy) through membership of the Confederation of Independent Football Associations (CONIFA). This paper finds that while the par- ticipating entities often make a political statement, there is little evidence that par- ticipation in CONIFA has positively impacted their foreign policy goals. Furthermore, beyond CONIFA, contested territories have been unable to advance their sporting sov- ereignty or engage in diplomatic relations with recognised states. However, CONIFA aids in nation branding through hosting rights and media attention, and contributes to strengthening the ‘national’ identity
