International Football at the Valley this month

on 17th May

Somaliland 5 - 0 Tamil Eelam

Somaliland is "a self-declared independent state, recognized as an autonomous region of Somalia." This was their first victory.

Tamil Eelam is "a proposed independent state that Tamils in Sri Lanka and the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora aspire to create in the north and east of Sri Lanka. "

Both are affiliated to the Confederation of Independent Football Associations, an umbrella association for entities unaffiliated with FIFA

Seems the club were unaware that there were hosting an international as it was just a regular pitch hire.

apparently they were singing before the game 'we're only here for the shagging'
