Palestinian women's team take on Bohs in 'historic' match

The Palestinian women's football team will play their first ever match in Europe this evening when they take part in a friendly fixture at Dublin 's Dalymount Park.

"As a team manager, it's been crazy to get all the players together. We haven't had the chance to practice all together, all the full 22 members of the team until now, and some of our players have not been able to make it to Ireland as well. Goalkeeper Charlotte Phillips who is originally from Palestine but now lives in Toronto, Canada, said the occasion is a significant one for the team.

The fixture has given the Bohemian players a chance to learn more about the situation in the middle east."It's a huge event here, which I suppose shows the solidarity between the two countries. "We are coming here with a message of hope, with a message to Europe, that it's the time to make justice to settle this conflict.
