A 14-year-old girl has been banned from playing for a football team in Yorkshire, and it has to be one of the more ridiculous situations in grass-roots sport.

Jobsworth officials often spoil everyone's fun when it comes to participation in activities that should be free for everyone, but this really does take that to a new level.

Carmen Olmos has been told that she strictly cannot take to the field at all for her community club, Wortley FC, for one reason.

That is? She is Spanish.

As absurd as it is, the Football Association have ruled that the teen is ineligible to represent her local team because she cannot be granted 'international clearance'.

She should tell them she's Gibraltarian to REALLY annoy them!
