In a demonstration of the friendship between Timor-Leste and the INTERFET staff, on September 20, the veterans of FALINTIL and INTERFET and the national teams of the F-FDTL and the Australian Defence Force played a friendly soccer match vying for the Cosgrove / Xanana Cup.
Hundreds of visiting veterans joined a crowd of almost 1,000 Timorese to watch the friendly soccer match between the FALINTIL veterans and the INTERFET veterans. After this first match, the F-FDTL national football team played against the Australian Defence Force, in an equally friendly but more competitive match.
