TIBET NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM

We are proud to be the official sponsor of the Tibet national team, one of the world’s most interesting and unusual football nations. A decade ago while on a mountain biking trek in Tibet, the Dane Michael Nybrandt awoke one morning from a vivid dream in which he had starred as the coach of the Tibetan national side - a team which didn’t even exist at the time!

Taking this dream as a sign from above, Nybrandt pressed ahead and the support of the Dalia Lama was instrumental in the foundation of the Tibetan National Sports Association. Today Nybrandt still works within Tibetan sport and his original dream forms the basis for this association between the TNSA and COPA.

We share a common bond thanks to our love of the game and fondness of the underdog and our sponsorship plays a part in helping support the ambitions of the TNSA to further develop sporting interests within the Tibetan community.
