Cuba - The biggest island nation in the Caribbean is better known for producing baseball players - many of whom find their way to America for the Big Bucks.
Football is still very popular in Cuba. This is a picture of Havana's Estadio Pedro Marrero, their version of Wembley! The capacity is 30,000 and it has a
manual scoreboard!
Cuba, known as Leones del Caribe (Lions of the Caribbean), were the first Caribbean team to get to the World Cup quarter finals in 1938. They drew 3-3 with
Romania, winning the replay, 2-1.
The quarter-finals saw Cuba lose 0-8 to Sweden and they haven't been seen since at the World Cup finals. Scroll down as there is a second photo of this "Wembley of the Caribbean".
