Emerging Nations Cup

The Emerging Nations Cup is an international association football competition for traditionally low-ranking or weak teams. The first two editions were contensted by four teams, with the weakest nation in each confederation's respective qualifying tournament being invited to compete. It was expanded to eight teams from the 2016 edition, with the two nations with the worst records in each confederation's respective qualifying tournament now taking part.

The tournament was first contested in 2014, which was won by the River Warriors.

The tournament is seen as a chance for low-ranking sides to play more competitive and balanced fixtures than in their qualification groups and gives an opportunity for such teams to develop.
