This summer I'm going to be taking a break from campaigning for Tibetan Independence to follow 11 men kicking a leather sack around a German field. No, not the World Cup (Wayne Rooney can stick his broken foot where the sun don't shine for all I care), but the Fifi Wild Cup, featuring Tibet, Greenland, Zanzibar and other national sides not recognised by Fifa, football's governing body.

The tournament runs from today until the 3rd of June, and while Tibet isn't the favourite, at least they've made it to Germany - the French government refused to grant the Tibetan team visas in 1998. More on the FIFI world cup here or find out about host club FC St Pauli (nicknamed "The Anarchists") here.

Team Tibet's manager talks to the Tibetan news service Phayul here.
