🧵Here's a fun thread for Monday! If you like #climatecrisis #ilmastonmuutos, travel, adventure, #Finland 🇫🇮, entitlement, colonialism and not a hint of irony then I guarantee you'll love this story! ⬇️
Meet the cast of a new Finnish reality TV show! Wait, not a TV show, it's just reality. These folks are (mostly) entrepreneurs who went on an expedition to 🇬🇱 #Greenland. How exciting! But why did they go to Greenland, you ask?🤔 
Good question! They flew all the way to Greenland not just to kayak, hike & shoot guns y'all. They went to find out about the impact of climate change. The glaciers are melting folks & the only way to learn about it is TO GO THERE IMMEDIATELY!
The #Sapmi representative football team has travelled from Lapland to Paonta Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, #India, where they will play #Tibet on Friday!
Congratulations on both teams on making this happen - what an incredibly meaningful match! ❤️

To put this in perspective:
The only non-FIFA team that regularly fields a women's national team is probably @MatabelFootball (@QueenLozikeyiAc). They play at least annual matches, with trainings in between.
Sapmi's women only played a single match in the last decade.

Tibet has a very active women's football scene with an annual tournament between different Tibetan clubs from across India (which has just ended). But they didn't play with a national team since 2016.
So this is really HUGE for women's football of minorities.
