FIFA tidak mengakui timnas Kurdistan Iraq dan tidak mengijinkan mereka untuk mengikuri turnamen internasional Palestina (Al-Nakba).



Kurdistan Iraq adalah timnas yg tidak diakui FIFA, sehingga pertandingan yg melibatkan mereka, tidak akan berguna dalam penentuan ranking FIFA.



Beberapa timnas yg tidak diakui FIFA:

Catalonia, Basque, Maluku Selatan, Kurdistan Iraq, Papua Barat, Monaco, Vatikan, Gilbraltar, Greenland.



FIFA has strongly rejected reports that it granted permission for the Iraqi Kurdistan national football team to compete in a friendly tournament next month in Palestine.







�Please note that FIFA recognizes and deals only with the IFA [Iraqi Football Association] and not with a so-called �Iraqi Kurdistan Football Federation,�� the FIFA Media Office said in a statement April 13 to the H�rriyet Daily News.



�Therefore, FIFA does not approve such games as the [friendly tournament in question].�



Earlier on April 13, Doğan news agency quoted Iraqi Kurdistan Football Association Secretary General Selam H�seyin as saying their national team had been granted approval by the world football�s governing body to play in a friendly tournament that would be held in Palestine next month.



�FIFA has approved our team to play in the May 13-22 tournament,� H�seyin was quoted as saying, before listing Uzbekistan, Tunisia, Mauritania, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Pakistan as the other participants in the friendly cup.
