ABOUT

Until the late 1970s and early 1980s, many National Football Associations around the world also had a SENIOR AMATEUR NATIONAL TEAM or B-NATIONAL TEAM in addition to the SENIOR A-NATIONAL TEAM. Reason for us to create a Renaissance and Rebirth of and for AMATEUR NATIONAL TEAMS FORMAT after more then 40 years and to re-establish them through Nations Cup Tournaments with International participating Nations from all Confederations.

BEST STAGE FOR SECRET HEROES AND TOP AMATEUR PLAYERS.

 The rebirth of an Amateur National Team is a great initiative. A great opportunity for today's top amateur players to step into the spotlight or even get a professional contract.
