ILLESCAS, Spain: Qum FC's players speak little Spanish, but the team composed entirely of expatriate South Korean footballers won't let the language barrier hold them back as they strive through Spain's lower leagues dreaming of one day taking on Real Madrid and Barcelona.

He watches every one of Qum's games. "South Korea is one of the most affected countries . Unfortunately, it doesn't only affect adults, but also minors," said Qum general manager Ruben Cano, a Spaniard who used to work for Real Madrid schools around the world.Midfielder Jaehyeok Kim, 21, was picked by Qum after open auditions in Korea and has a full grant to live and play in Spain.
