County Mayo is a place of stubbornness and wild beauty. Raw Atlantic weather sweeps in across the tangle of estuaries and peninsulas that form Broadhaven Bay on Ireland's northwest coast, buffeting the yellow gorse bushes and pink rhododendrons that cling stoutly to the vast green bog stepped and striped black by centuries of cutting for household fuel.

That's when the soccer's world governing body, FIFA, announced a ban on staging international matches at altitudes higher than 2,500 meters (about 8,200 ft.) because of the health risks posed to players unaccustomed to the altitude.
