This match was originally scheduled for Thursday 29th July against a team called IK Multraa, but when Chelsea arrived, they discovered IK Multraa was a ladies team, who in turn were expecting Chelsea ladies to arrive to play them. Once the mistake was realised, a replacement match against a local "select" team was hastily arranged for the following evening. The team, called Angermanland had never played before and never played since.

Many thanks to Harri Hemmi of Chelsea Supporters Sweden (http://www.chelseasweden.com) for match information and programme scans and Garry Jones for explaining the story.
