They overcame Ireland's Libyan community to meet the Polish team who edged out rivals also from Poland at the recent May Day Intercultural Festival.

This match will be the platform from which the alternative World Cup when when all the 32 participating countries in this year World Cup in Germany will parade with their National Flag and National Soccer outfit. Teams of those from the 32 countries in the world cup are being formed amongst their diaspora in Ireland.

Ireland might not have qualified for the World Cup in Germany but those living in Ireland from Austrailia, Angola, Ukraine and the rest that make up the 32 will compete over 27/28th May to win the World Cup in Dublin.
