Only three guys from Puerto Rico FC are members of the Puerto Rican national team. They are pretty much like the Wellington Phoenix in the A-League. They are not owned by the Puerto Rican FA or anything but by Carmerlo Anthony, an NBA basketball player, and they play in the American 2nd Division, the NASL.
PRFC is just part of NASL's plan to have a team in Puerto Rico, that is it.
Last Time India played International Football Match
at Mumbai (Bombay) was in 1955. It took 61 years to again organise it. It was
against USSR team with legendary Lev Yashin and 35000 spectators came to
Brabourne Stadium.
