2009 Viva World Cup
The 2009 VIVA World Cup was the third VIVA World Cup, an international tournament for football open to non-FIFA-affiliated teams, played in Padania.
Three venues were bidding to host the tournament in 2010 :
- Padania
- Iraqi Kurdistan

Occitania originally finished 5th, but having made one more substitution than allowed, the result was overturned, leaving Gozo as the winners of the 5th place playoff.
The defending champions from the previous tournament were Padania, who went on to win the tournament.
