A national team for Cornwall?
I think that Kernow should have a national football team, a national rugby team, and any other national team in any other sport. The Cornish public should put a petition to FIFA, England and Scotland and Wales, Northern Ireland have special permission to play as seperate nations, if it weren't for the English inventing the sport they would only be allowed to play as Britian. (thats a fact, FIFA president sepp blatter said that) so i think that if Cornwall asked they should and would be able to form a national team, in the long run it may help for the push for independance.
Well...turns out cornwall DOES have a football team, they regularly play internationals against jersey, isle of man, and occasionally Ireland. (havn't done in a very long time though)

Getting ahead of yourselves there guys. The first step would be contacting Cornwall County Football Association (CCFA) to see if they are open to discussion and whether they would support such a move.
Here is the linky to the CCFA website and I'll send them an email enquiring about there position.

I don't see why they would not, after all it is the Cornish FA, a national team would only promote Cornish culture and attract attention, hence more money and so on. FIFA accepted Northern Ireland and Wales, They were seriously thinking of rejecting NI as it was just part of the UK, so they thought htat if they were going to have any team it would be a British one, or just ROI. Wales is closely linked with England, England cricket team represents Wales as well, yet Wales and Northern Ireland have their own teams. Catalonia has a national team, they even have a friendly lined up with footballing Giants Argentina, they succeeded in recognition, they are even sponsored by Puma and have a premier league player on their team as does Basque country (Gaizka Mendieta). I am sure Kernow shall do the same. The idea of a sixth nation football team is actually exciting. Kernow V England at Wembley, lol that would be interesting.

Here is a very good website, if Cornwall seeks to get into FIFA, then they should apply to this.

Cornwall official football team
The Cornwall FA should arrange some matches against other Celtic nations. How about the Brittany national team http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany_n ... tball_team or Isle of Man national team for a start ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Ma ... tball_team.
