GREATER Western Sydney's long-term and lucrative sponsorship deal with Skoda has given Giants coach Kevin Sheedy the chance to spread the word of Aussie football.

In late July he travelled to the Czech Republic, taking in the sights of Prague and also passing on some advice to a few footballers - both Australians and local boys.

A footy league with four clubs has operated in the Czech Republic since 2009, and although the Czech national team won't be running around in the upcoming International Cup, the locals are hoping to be part of the competition when it is next held in three years' time.
