From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cyprus International Football Tournament was an annual winter association football friendly competition for national teams that takes place in Cyprus. It was traditionally held in February as a friendly tournament since at least 1997, and last played in 2011.[1] The 2006 tournament was played in two parallel groups.
