Derry City: UK football club staying in Europe after Brexit

In the world of sport, Brexit, backstops and borders may not be foremost in the thoughts of fans.

That sport and politics should not mix is, after all, an oft repeated phrase.

But for Derry City Football Club, this year celebrating 90 years since its first competitive match, Brexit puts the club in a unique position.

When Brexit happens, the Candystripes become the only UK-based club competing in a domestic league within the European Union.

The football club's Brandywell home ground lies less than four miles from County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland.

And for more than 30 years they have played in the Republic of Ireland's league.
