Greenlandic Football Championship
The Greenlandic Football Championship (Greenlandic: Isikkamik Arsaalluni Pissartanngorniunneq, GM, Danish: Grønlandsmesterskab i fodbold), known as the Coca-Cola GM for sponsorship reasons, is the premier football competition in Greenland.[1] It was established in 1954 and since 1971, it has been organised by the Football Association of Greenland.[2] This association is not a part of FIFA or any other continental confederations. B-67 is the most successful football team to have won the championship.[3]

Format
The championship is often called an unusual and unique tournament as the Coca-Cola GM lasts only one week.[4] This is due to football clubs being so far apart in the large country.[5] The competition is hosted in several different locations in Greenland. These locations include Ammassalik, Nanortalik and Kangaatsiaq.[6]
