Wembley, Old Trafford and Anfield regularly welcome football tourists from foreign shores – but they are a far less common sight at Harborough Town's home ground in Leicestershire.
So imagine the surprise when more than 100 Spanish sports fans turned up to enjoy the non-league club's match against St Ives Town on Saturday.
The Spaniards were subscribers to a Spanish YouTube channel devoted to English football which has now started arranging trips.
"Some of the local fans were quite surprised, probably wondering what 100 Spaniards were doing there," said Madrid-born and new Harborough Town fan Alvaro Sanz.
The channel La Media Inglesa (LMI) was founded by Barcelona-born Ilie Oleart and covers English football matches for Spanish speaking fans across the world.
Since launching in 2011, the channel has gained more than 440,000 subscribers and began offering trips to the UK in 2018 so the fans could watch games in person.
Mr Oleart, who supports La Liga side Espanyol, said the next step for LMI was to not only show English football but also try to be involved with an English football club in some way.
"Our aim was to transform a small local English club into a small local club with a global fanbase," he said.
After speaking to different lower league clubs, Mr Oleart asked his subscribers which club they should link up with – and Harborough Town FC emerged as the fans' choice.
"I met people at the club in September to get to know their history, the town and the facilities," said Mr Oleart.
"We thought they were the perfect club with the right values to share with our audience."
Harborough Town games in the seventh tier of English football will now be live-streamed on the LMI Youtube channel, giving Spanish-speaking fans a chance to become "virtual supporters" of the club.
