Some of us came for a degree.We stayed for the five-a-side.
The community football side, KAFCON, and the annual problem of Harambee Stars kicking off at four in the morning Korean time.
KAFCON
The Korea Africa Cup of Nations — African communities across Korea fielding sides against each other, once a year, with all the seriousness that implies. Kenya has a side. It always needs players.
Sunday football
Informal, regular, and more about turning up than talent. If you have not kicked a ball since school, that is the standard. Bring boots if you have them.
Watching Harambee Stars
AFCON and World Cup qualifiers rarely land at a civilised hour here. We organise somewhere to watch anyway, because watching alone at 4am is a different and sadder experience.
Coming up
Fixtures and meet-ups
Nothing in the diary
Fixtures get organised when enough people say they'll turn up. That is genuinely the whole selection process.

Results and photos
No trials. No subs. Just turn up.
Whatever your standard, whatever your county, whatever your Korean. The side has been short of players at every tournament it has ever entered — that is an open invitation, not a complaint.
