Kanto Celts are the most highly rated underachieving soccer Team in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The Celts are not just a football team but a social institution. Careful co-ordination behind the scenes in kantoceltdom allows the stars juggle football and fame in the face of various adversities like work, women, alcohol and Eugene's ad-hoc nights out. With the bosman ruling strictly in force here in Japan the Celts have enlisted the services of overseas talents from as far away as Russia, Canada, US, Ireland and the other country next to it. Within the ranks we boast a Harvard Lawyer, Westlife reject, zoolander himself and Roy Keanes' friend (on first name basis). As the most recognised team in Japan and possibly Asia-Pacific, Celts spend much of their time on tour to places like Phuket, Nagano and Izumo representing Ireland and anything green. Kanto Celts are always on the lookout for new talent to nurture and strengthen the defence, midfield and strikers. All Nationalities Welcome!

The Lions Football Club was formed in 1997 in Singapore and was originally an amalgamation of non-Dutch Hollandse and Dynamo TNT players. The first AGM was held at the Sunset Bar on Sentosa which soon became our 'other' home and where it was decided by a unanimous vote that we should be called 'The Spice Boys' - it seemed to fit the mood at the time and was before the Reds of Liverpool received that famous tag. Unfortunately having sobered up the following day the name was dropped and a more suitable name was found. Our first season was to be our finest yet and the Lions went on to win the league in true style - losing only one game despite sacking the coach after only five games. Being a team of misfits and outcasts from all areas of the globe we have often been seen as physical and aggressive - not true - we see ourselves as lovers not fighters and have a unified common belief in world peace. If we had a motto it would probably be the line from Platoon - ''we did not fight the enemy, we fought ourselves and the enemy was within us'' - I think that just about sums up the Lions spirit and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Hibernians FC of Singapore was established with the aim of providing a recreational outlet for Expats in the form of regular soccer games and a social environment for team-mates and fellow soccer enthusiasts. Shortly after forming in 1996 the founding members adopted their present-day name, though the origins of this decision is still very much in dispute. One version has it that the group compromised on a designation that would best represent those Scots and Irish on the team who predominated (thus associating themselves with an Edinburgh-based club that is represented by the Latin word for 'Irish'). The more widely accepted version, however, has it that Big Eddie Harkin of Donegal insisted that the side be called as such, a decree with which no one was going to argue. Since its inception Hibernians FC, or 'Hibs', has progressed to a point of near-competence. From humble beginnings on the terraces of the East Coast, to friendly games against local and visiting sides, to competitive Sunday Leagues matches on Sentosa, the Club has come a long way in a short time. In 1999 Hibs entered its first tournament and placed a respectable third. The following year they duplicated this result in the Golden Sun Championships, a 14-team competition that ran from March to December, and a period that saw Hibs claim some notable distinctions including most goals scored for, least goals conceded and most yellow cards against! The year 2000 was also significant in that Hibernians FC applied for 'Society' status from the Singapore government, paving the way for the sponsorship they presently enjoy from Muddy Murphy’s Irish Pub, which is located in the Orchard Hotel Shopping Arcade off Orchard Road. The following season Hibs won the Sunsports League and in 2002 entered two teams into the first and second divisions of the League.

Voodoo FC, from Shanghai... 2nd in the Manila 6-a-side tournament and won the 2004 Hebiguchi Cup in Shanghai. This tour we're bringing.... Rick "Gaffer" Howard: Uses coded American terminology to throw the other team off (and sometimes his own!). Gavin "Clooney" Morgan: Half English, half French , 100% Village People. Ian "Dicko" Dickson: Oldest member of the tour squad, Chelsea fan (and given his age, probably the only founding member of Chelsea still alive). Julian "Mullet" Goodes: only defenders of his calibre can get away with a haircut like his. Mark "Canker" Suchy: Canadian, too tall to be a hockey player or a mountie. Chris "The Unit" Barnyard: Keeper of the last Manila 6s. Bastian "The Unknown Element" Land: The Mystery guest player from Hong Kong. Andre "The Bookie" Delarue: German, with a French name, English accent and Russian liver. The only Voodoo Tour Virgin that has been on tour before. Go figure. Steve "Stookie" Watson: the Uncrowned "King of Clean Play", undoubtedly a Scot. You'll hear him before he arrives. Paul "Uncle Fester" Lewis: The midfielder with the streamlined haircut to compensate for the legs. Also, looks like our goalkeeper. Paul Skulls: The world famous, bodiless Voodoo footballer with the method, madness, a black magic to ensure Voodoo victory. Finally, The Voodoo would like to thank Kirk, our team photographer for making us look like stars. Also, our home bar the Big Bamboo in Shanghai for its continuous international support. And lastly the guys in Thailand that make the tour happen for all of us!

Boca Seniors was founded in 1997 and have been playing in Hong Kong's Yau Yee League (YYL) and, since our inception, have been plying our trade within the YYL's top two divisions. In our inaugural season (1997/98) we won the YYL Second Division title, which we subsequently won again in the 2001/02 season. The frequent arrivals and departures being the nature of an expatriate's life has meant that Boca's forays into the top flight have been all too fleeting, with only two seasons in the YYL First Division. The club's squad over the years has included the full range of nationalities usually found within Hong Kong's expatriate community … England, Wales, Scotland, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, Senegal and even one guy from Mauritius (who was, of course, a Man Utd fan !!).
The squad playing in the Bangkok Tournament in April 2005 will rely strongly on former Boca players (allegedly legends) who have recently moved to work and live in Thailand (lucky gits!). We strongly believe in the philosophy of match days consisting of three 'halves' and you can guarantee that whether we win, lose or draw during the first two of these 'halves', Boca will be sure to outshine any opposition during the third half. This will be Boca's fifth 'tour' and it will be the first time that we'll actually have kicked a ball !
Thank you for inviting Boca Seniors to play in the inaugural Bangkok International Soccer 7's Tournament and we look forward to seeing all the other teams this weekend … and remember … it's all about your performance in that vital third half that makes all the difference !

BMFC was formerly known as The British High Commission Football Club. Formed in 1994, essentially by expatriates (attached to the High Commission) based in Kuala Lumpur. The team changed its name to British Malaysia Football Club for the 2004/2005 season, as the ratio of expats to local players is now about 50-50. The team plays its football in the Kuala Lumpur Social Soccer League (KLSSL), and has had many successful years of cup and league titles. This will be our first year in this tournament, and are firstly honoured to participate, and are looking equally forward to a great weekend of football, socials, and hopefully a trophy, if the Singha does not get the better of us!
