Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Franconia football team" in English language version.
Helmuth Weisensel, 51 years old, doesn't feel represented in his Franconian identity by either one of the two professional clubs in that region, which is why he has been working on forming a Franconian national team for almost a year now. Together with the separatist Franconian Union, he founded the Franconian Football Association and then asked the Bavarian Football Association if they could help him to organize a friendly match. Surprisingly they agreed to this idea but only under the condition that they would organize it themselves because they didn' want to acknowledge his FFA.

Es gibt zwar jetzt schon den Fränkischen Fußball-Bund, wir sind da zu dritt. Aber den haben wir nur für den Fall gegründet, sollten wir selbst mal bei einer WM mitmachen. Auf dem Papier quasi.[There's already the Franconian Football Association, and there are three of us in it. But we only founded it in case we should ever participate in a World Cup ourselves. On paper, so to speak.]
