(PRWEB UK) 6 May 2012
Leading property developers and estate agents Property Secrets will be sponsoring tomorrow?s international football match between the world?s smallest nation Sealand, based on a former military fortress island in the North Sea just six miles of the coast of Suffolk and the national team of the Chagos Islands located in the Indian Ocean approximately 500 kilometres south of the Maldives.
Kicking off at the home of Godalming Town FC, Surrey at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow, the most unusual of matches has been authorised as a recognised international fixture by the Nouvelle-Federation Board, the non FIFA governing body.
Prince Regent Michael of Sealand comments, ?The Principality of Sealand is pleased to announce that our Football Association has arranged an international football match against the Chagos Islands and we wish them every success. We are extremely excited about tomorrow?s match and as we say in Sealand, e mare libertas!?
Meanwhile the opposition Herold Mandarin, President of Chagos Island?s Football Association had this to say: ?Not only are we proud to be playing another international football match, but we are even more excited to be battling it out against Sealand. Indeed, this is another chance to shine the spotlight firmly on Chagos and help propel the team onto the international stage. It?s all an opportunity to tell people about the history and the people from this relatively unknown land. I invite all Chagossians and those who support us to come to tomorrow?s match.?
Commenting on this rare occasion, Director Alan Forsyth of Nottingham based Property Secrets states: ?This was an opportunity we just couldn?t resist. As keen sport fans ourselves, the opportunity to sponsor a very uncommon and historic international football match was something we were very keen to be involved in. We are certain that tomorrow will be an exciting day and we are very much looking forward to being part of the event.?
For sporting fans, friends of Sealand and those wanting to witness a rare footballing event, why not grab a ticket and come along. Tickets cost
