WHO WE ARE
Tibet is a land of breathtaking landscapes, from the snowcapped peaks of the Himalayas to vast grasslands and ancient monasteries. More than just a place on the map, Tibet is a symbol of resilience, spirituality, and a deeply rooted cultural identity. Our traditions-language, music, dance, art, and faith—have been nurtured over centuries and continue to thrive, even in exile. Despite political challenges, the spirit of Tibet remains strong and everpresent in the hearts of our people.
WHERE WE’RE FROM
Tibet is a land of breathtaking landscapes, from the snowcapped peaks of the Himalayas to vast grasslands and ancient monasteries.
More than just a place on the map, Tibet is a symbol of resilience, spirituality, and a deeply rooted cultural identity. Our traditions—language, music, dance, art, and faith—have been nurtured over centuries and continue to thrive, even in exile. Despite political challenges, the spirit of Tibet remains strong and everpresent in the hearts of our people.
WHY WE PLAY
Football is our voice on the global stage. In every match, we carry the hopes of our people and the memory of those who came before us. We play to honor our ancestors, to celebrate our culture, and to tell the world that Tibet lives on. The field becomes a space of healing, unity, and purpose where boundaries fall away and our identity shines. Every goal, every pass, and every moment on the pitch is an act of love for Tibet.
OUR YOUTH, OUR FUTURE
This team is also a torch for the next generation. For young Tibetans growing up far from the land of their ancestors, football offers more than fitness it offers a way to connect, to belong, and to believe. Every time we step onto the field, we send a message: “You matter. Your identity matters. Your dreams matter.” We hope to inspire them to stand tall, to stay rooted in their heritage, and to keep Tibet alive in their words, actions, and hearts.
THE STORY OF EAST TURKISTAN
Interview with East Turkistan FA President and Head Coach
Elshat Eslam
The CONIFA Asia Cup 2025 is the first-ever international championship that the East Turkistan FA has joined.
Watch the goodwill message from Elshat Eslam, President of the East Turkistan FA, as they participate in the CONIFA Asia Cup for the first time.
Hear the story of East Turkistan.
“The people of East Turkistan continue to endure one of the gravest humanitarian crises of our time. Under the Chinese regime, they face systematic oppression that includes mass internment in concentration camps, forced labor, cultural erasure, and the destruction of religious and historical sites. Millions of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other Turkic peoples have suffered from forced sterilization, family separations, and other atrocities that amount to genocide.”
The CONIFA Asia Cup 2025 represents more than just football; it stands as a testament to a nation’s dream of achieving sovereignty and freedom.
The CONIFA Asia Cup 2025 teams Tamileelam F.A.& Tibetan NSA Tnsa Dharamsala, and East Turkistan FA have diaspora communities spread across four continents: Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. Their shared love for their respective cultural identity keeps them united across the globe.
From the four winds, the President of East Turkistan FA, Elshat Eslam, has brought together the Uyghur footballers to honour their nation and raise their banner on the pitch as a people with the dream of freedom, sovereignty, and victory!
The three participating teams will be in London on 1–5 July and play with all their might for the title of CONIFA Asia Cup 2025 Champions!
