The '''ELF Cup''' (''Equality, Liberty, Fraternity'') was an international [[football (soccer)|football]] tournament organised by the [[Cyprus Turkish Football Federation]] (KTFF), a member of the [[NF-Board]]. It was played only once in 2006. Among the participants were NF-Board teams, and  [[FIFA]] member teams from the [[Asian Football Confederation]].

==ELF Cup 2006==
The 2006 ELF Cup took place in the [[North Cyprus]] between November 19 and 25. Initially announced for non-FIFA teams only, the 2006 tournament also found places for three teams from the [[Asian Football Confederation]] - [[Tajikistan national football team|Tajikistan]], [[Kyrgyzstan national football team|Kyrgyzstan]] and [[Afghanistan national football team|Afghanistan]]. However, under pressure from FIFA, Afghanistan withdrew from the tournament.

===Controversy===
Initially, it was announced that the [[North Cyprus]] were to hold the inaugural [[VIVA World Cup]] tournament, organised by the [[NF-Board]] as a bi-annual competition for the best non-FIFA nations. However, a dispute between the NF-Board and a new regime at the [[Cyprus Turkish Football Association|KTFF]] led to the tournament being taken away and granted to [[Occitania]]. The NF-Board claimed that the new government of the [[North Cyprus]] insisted on restricting which nations could and could not take part. The KTFF, however, claimed that the NF-Board made unreasonable financial demands.<ref>{{cite news

In response, the KTFF announced that the ELF Cup would be held at the same time as the VIVA World Cup, and have promised to pay travelling expenses to the participants, which has attracted some NF-Board members. The KTFF hope that the tournament will bring [[North Cyprus]] further into the international arena.<ref>{{cite web | title=The alternative World Cup| work=BBC Online | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6107012.stm| accessdate=November 7, 2006  | date=November 7, 2006}}</ref>
