Guam, the westernmost point and territory of the United States, is more well known for being a honeymoon and diving destination. Its national football team are six places off the bottom out of 207 teams in the Fifa rankings, and above only Sri Lanka in the Asian Football Confederation’s ranking.
This presents logistical issues as these footballers, who are with lower-tier clubs or university teams, had to travel 15 hours from their Los Angeles base to the Philippines for a one-week training camp to prepare for this two-legged tie, from which the winners will progress to the second round. They have done that before, when they took the lead twice before settling for a 2-2 draw at Jalan Besar Stadium the last time these two teams met in an international friendly in 2015.
