No evidence this team exists. The link provided suggests there may be an association, but not a national team. I can find no evidence of any results in any competition. Article has been deleted before but as this was several years ago an AfD seemed more appropriate.Stu.W UK (talk) 08:38, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. A lot of the arguments presented at the recent Nunavut national team AfD will apply here. I think the FAQ at national-football-teams.com sum it up rather well - "Territories are also not included when they haven′t actually played for a long time - or never at all. As soon as Bougainville, the Easter Island, Guangxi Zhuang, the Isles of Scilly or Chechnya show signs of activity, we′ll think about including them."

 * Delete a country sub-division can't have a national team. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 12:22, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a country, can't have a national footy team. Stifle (talk) 16:56, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. However, just for information, Palestine is not a country and has a national football team (and Olympic Association). Parslad (talk) 22:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence team actually exists -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:03, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
