PROD removed. Reason for removal was 'this one seems a little iffy for a prod and should go to AFD, if desired'. As I stated in the PROD, the team is not notable. They are a state level side who may have competed at the Micronesian Games as the individual states of Micronesia do enter separate teams. The editions that I can find any information on make no mention of football being one of the sports played, and the only working link relating to games played - the rsssf link - says at the top that the tournament was called the 'WCTC Shell Soccer Exhibition' suggesting it was maybe an 'exhibition' sport rather than anything official.
