Background The first federation to organise a national football championship in Greenland was the GIF (da Grønlands Idrætsforening), a general sports federation that organised more than just football tournaments, founded on 3 September 1953 at a meeting attended by eleven clubs from Upernavik, Uummannaq, Qeqertarsuatsiaat, Qasigiannguit, Aasiaat, Sisimiut, Maniitsoq, Nuuk, Paamiut and Qaqortoq.https://www.rsssf.org/tablesg/groenlchamp.html Greenland – List of Champions Stokkermans Karel Pierrend José Luis Schöggl Hans Kubusch Lars Medaer Jan Outlaw Brian Rota Davide 20 Aug 2015 RSSSF 30 November 2015 The 1954–55 tournament was the first national football tournament and GIF continued to organise the competition, usually announced as Fodboldturneringen, Grønlandturneringen or Fodboldmesterskab i Grønland, until 1970. For the first decade of its existence, the tournament was held sporadically, with iterations often taking more than a year to complete. In 1971 a football specific federation, the Football Association of Greenland (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaanni Isikkamik Arsaattartut Kattuffiat; da Grønlands Boldspil-Union), was founded, and took over the organisation of the tournament. Format The first phase of the tournament split the teams into four geographic pools, with three of these pools containing two groups and the pool containing the most teams (North Greenland) being split into three groups. The group winners then played off directly to qualify for the final phase, with two of North Greenland's pool winners playing in a semi–final before meeting Nanok, the other pool's winner and reigning champions in their geographic final. The final phase saw the four regional champion play in a knockout series, held in Nuuk in September 1964.https://www.rsssf.org/tablesg/groenl64.html Greenland 1963/64 Stokkermans Karel 4 September 2014 RSSSF 30 November 2015 Knockout stage 1/16 finals 1/8 finals Quarter finals Semi finals Final 3;4;7;8;10;12;15;16 20px FC Malamuk W 20px Qalaleq L 20px Kingmeq-45 W 20px ASP-62 L 20px Nanok-50 Bye 20px Piniartoq Bye 20px T-41 6 20px Nagdlunguaq-48 2 20px K'SP W 20px Kugsak-45 L 20px SAK Bye 20px Kagssuk IL Bye 20px GSS 15 20px Kagssagssuk 0 20px Qoornoq IL Bye 20px Nagtoralik Paamiut 9 20px Tusilartoq 0 20px Nuuk IL Bye 20px K-33 4 20px Aassik-43 2 20px Pameeq 7 20px Nauja 0 20px Narssarmiutaq Bye 20px Qavak Bye 20px FC Malamuk 5 20px Kingmeq-45 1 20px Nanok-50 W 20px Piniartoq L 20px T-41 5 20px K'SP 2 20px SAK W 20px Kagssuk IL L 20px GSS 4 20px Qoornoq IL 3 20px Nagtoralik Paamiut 4 20px Nuuk IL 2 20px K-33 6 20px Pameeq 2 20px Narssarmiutaq 14 20px Qavak 1 20px FC Malamuk 0 20px Nanok-50 6 20px T-41 L 20px SAK W 20px GSS 12 20px Nagtoralik Paamiut 5 20px K-33 8 20px Narssarmiutaq 2 September 13, 1964 20px Nanok-50 5 20px SAK 4 September 15, 1964 20px GSS 3 20px K-33 4 September 17, 1964 20px Nanok-50 1 20px K-33 4 September 17, 1964 20px SAK 2 20px GSS 1 References Category:Greenlandic Men's Football Championship seasons Category:1960s in Greenland Category:1963 in Denmark Category:1963 in North America Category:1964 in Denmark Category:1964 in North America Green
