Tournament history

Sápmi participated in the KTFF 50th Anniversary Cup in 2005 in Northern Cyprus, losing matches against Northern Cyprus and Kosovo and finishing third. In November 2006, Sápmi participated in – and won – the inaugural VIVA World Cup in Occitania, organised by the NF-Board. Sápmi overcame the host nation and Monaco to win the trophy, scoring 42 goals in 3 games. They hosted the next finals in 2008, defeating Kurdistan to finish third, before travelling to Padania in 2009, where they again finished third. Sápmi has not participated in a VIVA World Cup since, although in 2010, they bid for the hosting rights of the 2014 edition.

Sápmi hosted the 2014 ConIFA World Football Cup, and it competed at the 2016 ConIFA World Football Cup.
