Libya's New Goal

World Football

Available for over a year

We hear the extraordinary story of Libya's national team and the players who have swapped the front line for the football pitch, with some success. We also talk to Brian Kerr, the manager of the Faroe Islands, about the mis-matches in European football. And, is it possible to give up football? One Manchester United fan tells us about his plans to live a football-free life for a whole year.
