In the summer of 1914, Exeter City Football Club became the first English team to embark on a tour of South America. The tour involved playing five matches in the Argentine and three in Brazil, including the honour of playing the first ever Brazilian national team.
Later this year Exeter City FC begins to celebrate the centenary of the tour and as part of the preparations the Supporters’ Trust ‘Community’ working group, with help from the University of Exeter, are archiving text, photographs and film to form part of an exhibition to be held at St James’ Park.
