UFWC Undisputed Title Match

The latest instalment of the Unofficial World Football Championship took place in Pescara at the weekend, when current champions the Netherlands took on reigning official world champions Italy in an undisputed championship match.

Unfortunately the match appears to have been a bit of a damp squib, ending goalless and notable mostly for a serious injury to Robin van Persie which may see him sidelined for a couple of months.

The Netherlands retain their title with the draw, and will put it on the line again on Wednesday 18^th against Paraguay in at home in Heerenveen, while the rest of the world is distracted by the small matter of the World Cup playoffs.

The Dutch have held the unofficial title just short of a year since taking the title from Sweden in a friendly last November, winning seven and drawing four of eleven UFWC title matches.

What’s this all about? The Unofficial Football World Championship, sometimes also known as the World Perpetual Football Championships.
