CASCADIA ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL FEDERATION

CONIFA recently announced a Women’s World Cup but on such short notice, Cascadia was unable to generate enough interest from players to attend. The tournament will be held in Northern India and hosted by Tibet.

The men’s and women’s teams will be seeking local matches during the summer to drum up support and build camaraderie.
