Demonstration in favour of having international match (7)
I believe the answer is:
protest
'demonstration' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'in favour of having international match' is the wordplay.
'in favour of' becomes 'pro' (I've seen this before).
'having' says to put letters next to each other.
'international match' becomes 'test' (I've seen this before).
'pro'+'test'='PROTEST'
(Other definitions for protest that I've seen before include "State objection" , "Express opposition" , "Record objection" , "Potters (anag.)" , "Complaint" .)
