After a tour round the facilities, discussions took place that covered the possiblility of a friendly being played betwee the two FAs; West Papua\u2019s training plans now they are based in The Hague; and how the East Turkistan team is looking to call up players from across Europe to join its squad. The group also discussed the \u2018Freedom Cup\u2019 which took place in Germany in June 2019, which brought together East Turkestan teams from Norway, Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium and France.<\/p>\n<p>West Papua also discussed becoming a part of CONIFA Asia, rather than Oceania, and the East Turkistan delegation formally requested their name change from Uyghur.<\/p>\n<p>The group also discussed collaborating now they were based in the same country, and all agreed they were excited about the possibility of playing a match against each other in the future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In August 2019, Asia President Jens Jockel and Member Development Director Paul Watson, headed
