The motivation behind the mission to bring football to the Marshall Islands and obtain FIFA recognition all comes back to the love between a father and son. It's led by a group of footballing pioneers, all under the banner of the Marshall Islands in the central Pacific Ocean -- the last United Nations-recognised country in the world without a national football team. But Shem Livai, a Marshallese businessman who lives on the capital island of Majuro, wants that to change.
Livai's son, Carter, took to football. He found it an easy sport to pick up, just kicking a ball around with his friends on one of Majuro's picturesque beaches.
