COMOROS v WANYAMA

I am listening to Talksport at the moment and being reminded that Bradford City used to be in the Premier League. There are other clubs that many will not believe until you show them the records. I am talking minnows!

I was also looking at the "friendlies" being played this weekend and spotted minnows Curacao v Bolivia (1-1) and The Comoros Islands v Kenya. Anyone know where they are?

Curacao may be found in the lesser Antilles, sort of north-east South America and for The Comoros, look in the Indian Ocean.

The Comoros first played Aruba in 1924 and the FA was formed in 1979. The first international match was against Mauritius in August 1979 away losing 0-3. They became members of FIFA in 2005. Their used to be in an association with Aruba, Bonaire, Saba, Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten contributing.

Kenya saved embarrassment thanks to Victor Wanyama of Spurs, who scored 2 to ensure a 2-2 draw against these minnows.

Comoros, presently ranked 132nd in FIFA, played their last game v Madagascar in the India Ocean Island Games, in November 2017, away in France, drawing 1-1. Local island rivals include Mauritius, Seychelles and Maldives. With fewer than a million in population, the team bats above its average, mainly.
