SYDNEY: Australia and New Zealand will play this year for the “Soccer Ashes,” sporting officials said Tuesday, a long-forgotten trophy recently rediscovered almost 70 years after it was lost.
The ornate wooden trophy houses a silver razor case carried during the treacherous Gallipoli landing of World War I, and has been dubbed the “greatest domestic treasure” in Australian football.
Missing since a fixture in 1954, the trophy was rediscovered during a clean-out of a suburban Sydney garage earlier this year.
