  The 2021 Sportsbet.io CONIFA European Football Cup, later renamed CONIFA Euro 2022 is the planned fourth edition of the CONIFA European Football Cup, an international football tournament for states, minorities, stateless peoples and regions unaffiliated with FIFA with an affiliation to Europe, organised by CONIFA. It will be hosted by Nice in France.
  
  Initially to be played from 9 to 19 June, it was postponed to 7–17 July due to the ongoing pandemic, and finally cancelled on 6 May 2021.
