Hi,

I am new to this forum and would like to know if there exists, or if there is any interest in setting up, an expat football team in the Lausanne-Morges area.

I used to live in Geneva, where the football teams are a bit more established among the diplomatic missions. I recently played for the Geneva Irish when we lost to the Geneva Scots 2-1. I know that those 2 teams would be keen to get more friendly practice in against other teams with a similar level (if you can call a group of 25-50 year olds panting in the sun chasing a ball before collapsing in a heap a "level").

This would involve getting together somewhat regularly for training and socialising afterwards. This would also be dependant on finding a suitable location to play (easier in the summer than in the winter). Let me know if you're interested or if you know of a group already playing.

For those of you playing in expat teams in other parts of Switzerland, get in touch and we could possibly organise a weekend tournament somewhere.

Cheers

Andrew
