PRESS RELEASE  for immediate use  16th July 2008


Football Supporters On Bridge Building Manouvres
========================================

Over seventy teams of football supporters from all over Scotland and 
England will descend on the playing fields of Leeds University to battle 
it out for the IFA cup and plate this weekend.

The tournament kicks off with a Scotland England International and the 
final of the IFA Cup on Friday 18th July at 5.30pm.

As well as the English and Scottish participants teams are also coming 
from RC Lens in France and there will be a contingent of Arsenal fans 
from Nigeria.

Tournament organiser, John Boocock (himself a life long Leeds United 
fan) says:

"We have been bringing supporters from opposing football teams together 
for 12 years now and each year the tournament gets bigger and better. 
The Internet Football Association was formed at the time of Euro 96 when 
the FA's Graham Kelly stated that English football fans would not get on 
with either each other or with visiting fans.

"We are living proof that this is not the case and week in week out our 
teams meet up before the big match to play in our league and our cup 
competitions.

"WorldNET is the culmination of the season and is looked forward to by all.

"Internet football is not just about winning. It's about taking part and 
building bridges between rival sets of supporters.  We play real games 
with real results, the best of which is the friendship built up between 
those who love of the beautiful game."

The tournament is at Bodington Hall in Leeds and runs from evening of 
friday the 18th until the afternoon of Sunday 20th.
