Mayo Football League have taken over administration of underages LOI football in Mayo (Previously Mayo Schoolboys).

This is fairly significant and there is also going to be an U21 Mayo Development squad. They already have a friendly v GUFC lined up. This could potentially lead to the emergence of a Mayo FC. 
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

Theres over 80,000 brazilians living in Ireland so id imagine they could easily dig up a core support of 3000. The only issue is id imagine it would be another Dublin based club. There are plenty of Turkish clubs around Germany playing at amature level like Türkiyemspor Berlin



Never heard it mentioned before in Ireland but that would be pretty cool. Anything to add to the amount of teams tbh

Would need substantial investment to get off the ground. A lot of clubs are working in their communities making their clubs welcoming to all. Think that approach should be encouraged...although the idea of Internazionale Dublin would add something to the league.

Croatia Fermoy after joining one of the local Cork leagues ahead of next season.

The idea of one of these teams at LOI Levels is a bit much really. Local leagues their level.

Spartak Dynamo was another I remember from back in the day.

Agree with what you said. None of these teams have even climbed up the intermediate ladder yet never mind being anywhere near ready to join the league of Ireland.

The UCFL was a hotbed of terrible club names,
there was a side called Super Friends FC at one point.

Notable mention to Brayzil also. Atletico Malahide are currently in the top league there
