West Bromwich Albion first ventured off the British mainland in April 1893, taking the relatively short trip to Ireland to play two friendly matches, both of which were unfortunately lost! Since then the Baggies have visited more than forty different countries, covering virtually all four points of the globe. The Albion have played everywhere from Abu Dhabi and Argentina, Bahrain and Brazil to the UAE, Uganda, Uruguay and the USA. They've contested European Cup Winners' Cup games, UEFA Cup ties, Anglo-Italian matches and have participated in several pre-season tournaments. Baggies Abroad covers every one of these games - including some great tests against the world's best: Ajax, AS Roma, Benfica, Feyenoord, Inter Milan, Napoli, Real Madrid, Red Star Belgrade, Sporting Lisbon, Valencia - with a mini match report, a great selection of photographs, match tickets and programmes.
