MCLEAN, Va. Tanoh Kpassagnon Youth Jersey . -- Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe is making no secret of his desire to lure the Washington Redskins to his state with the promise of a new stadium.At the Redskins annual preseason luncheon Wednesday, McAuliffe made a public, passionate case to owner Dan Snyder, boasting about Virginias economy and connection to the military. McAuliffe said that 66 percent of season-ticket holders live in Virginia, which also has a substantial military population.I want to thank the Redskins for being such a great economic driver, McAuliffe said. We have your headquarters. We have your training facility. What else could there possibly be? Let me say this, Dan: Think about Virginia.McAuliffe previously said during an appearance on Snyder-owned radio station ESPN 980 that Virginia and the Redskins were in very serious negotiations on a stadium deal. The teams current lease at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, expires in 2026.Virginia has been lobbying for a stadium dating to 2013 when Bob McDonnell was governor. If it were to happen, it would likely be built in Loudoun County, home of Dulles International Airport, where the Redskins have their practice facility and where a majority of players live.During a radio appearance on news radio station WTOP Wednesday morning, McAullife said any deal would have to make sense for Virginia taxpayers and added that he would give the Redskins the time and respect that a major state employer deserves.At the Redskins luncheon, he trumpeted Virginias military might, saying that the state has 800,000 veterans or active duty personnel -- more than the total population in some locations. That was a gentle jab at Washington city councilmember Jack Evans, who was in attendance.The largest naval base in the world, 27 military installations, the Pentagon -- we have it all, folks, McAuliffe said. So Dan, if youre thinking because you love our military, what a better way to honor our military, our veterans and active duty, than make an easy commute for them to go see a game with the Redskins.Cornerback DeAngelo Hall, a Chesapeake, Virginia, native who played college football at Virginia Tech, has a connection to Richmond -- his aunt, Louise Lucas, a state senator. Asked about bringing the Redskins stadium to Virginia, Hall said: Weve been trying. Well see.In his address to the crowd of 600 plus 27 active players and 24 alumni, Snyder did not respond to McAuliffes stadium sales job.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Tanoh Kpassagnon Chiefs Jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament.

The campaign for recognition has long been resisted by Spain, which wanted to stop the tiny territory on its southern tip from joining UEFA and being able to play in its competitions. Gibraltar has been a frequent source of tension between Britain and Spain, which claims sovereignty over the territory that was ceded to Britain in 1713. The path to becoming UEFAs 54th member, which started in 1999, became clearer after a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling in Gibraltars favour in 2006. The following year UEFA called a vote at its Congress but Spain engineered strong opposition to Gibraltars bid. The congress in London on Friday, though, overwhelmingly backed Gibraltar, which was granted provisional member status last year. There was no chance for Spain to express any opposition apart from by refusing to raise a green card, which signified support, as most nations did. "This is a momentous occasion for football in Gibraltar," Gibraltar Football Association president Gareth Latin said. "UEFA membership means we can begin the next chapter of Gibraltarian football." Gibraltar can now enter into the qualifying competition for the 2016 European Championship. UEFA President Michel Platini said Spain would be kept apart in qualifying in a bid to avoid inflaming political tension, as happens with Armenia and Azerbaijan. "Its better to try and ... pre-empt such a situation and avoid it happening rather than dealing with the consequences," Platini said. Gibraltar is now looking to quickly play its first friendly as a UEFA member. "Obviously the calendars are full for most nattions, but, if someone is free, then we would be happy to play anyone at this stage," head coach Allen Bula told British broadcaster Sky Sports.

There is uncertainty over where the team would play international fixtures with a small stadium being upgraded on the rocky territory where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. They could be played in nearby Portugal. Gibraltar has six top-division teams and 600 registered senior players in its population of almost 30,000, who have full British citizenship. "We have been trying to achieve this (UEFA decision) for 14 years, and we want to give this to the Gibraltar community and we want to develop our kids so they have a chance to become professionals," Latin said. The GFA, which was founded in 1895, applied to FIFA for membership in 1997 with the backing of England, but the world governing body delegated the decision to UEFA. Spain had UEFA change its rules in 1999 so that members were U.N.-recognized states. But Gibraltars original application predates this change. Gibraltar sends teams to the Commonwealth Games but does not have a recognized National Olympic Committee. Now, though, it is an official footballing nation. "Finally the politics of ancient rivalry and colonial tribalism have been kicked into touch," said Graham Watson, who represents Gibraltar in the European Parliament. The territory was captured by Anglo-Dutch naval forces in 1704 and ceded to Britain in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht. The strategically situated rock has had a British military base ever since. "Gibraltars presence on the international stage is going from strength to strength ... now Gibraltar can sell itself to the world through the art of the beautiful game," Watson said.
