Sápmi overcame both the host nation and Monaco to win the trophy, scoring an impressive 42 goals in 3 games. They hosted the next finals in 2008, defeating Kurdistan to finish third, before travelling to Padania in 2009 where they again finished third. Sápmi have not participated in a VIVA World Cup since. FA Sápmi hosted the 2014 ConIFA World Football Cup and it competed at the 2016 ConIFA World Football Cup.
