Ever since the Royal Engineers made the first FA Cup final in 1872 the British armed forces have been associated with the FA Cup. Although it's been many years since a team representing the armed forces has played in the competition, their love of cup football has continued. As the British Navy sailed around the world, they would often disembark in distant lands with a shiny trophy and the offer of a football match. Leaving the cup once they had sailed on. That's how many believe the "International Friendship Cup" started on a remote island in the US state of Alaska. We've been to watch this annual football match.
