Participants

[edit]

A total of twelve teams were scheduled to participate, with their seedings below.[2] The seeded teams are Padania (winners of the 2017 CONIFA European Football Cup) and Artsakh, as the hosts of the 2019 European Football Cup. Abkhazia and Székely Land were also drawn as top seeds in Pot 1, based on their CONIFA rankings.

Sardinia entered in 2018 in CONIFA and it was drawn in one of the groups. However, in May 2019, it withdrew from the competition. The reserve team, in case one of the below teams withdraws, was granted to Kernow,[3] but after County of Nice, Donetsk PR and Luhansk PR all withdrew, CONIFA opted to proceed with just 8 teams in 2 groups.[4]
