Why there is a push to develop international football in the last nation without a team - if nuclear extinction or climate change flooding doesn't wipe the locals out first
With a population of 42,000, scope is there to develop footballersAs it stands, Marshall Islands in Oceania's Micronesia region is the last remaining sovereign nation in the world without an international football team. And if three determined English men have their way, that could change sooner rather than later. Located 5270km from Australia, the Republic has five islands and a population of just over 42,000 people. Basketball has that mantle now, and hypothetically, recruiting and developing 11 quality footballers for an international qualifier tomorrow could be a daunting task. Bikini Atoll on the Islands was also the venue where America conducted 67 nuclear weapon tests between 1945 and 1958.
