Winning the CL with Vaduz on Football Manager is the final boss of challenges, you have to win the Conference League to get in the Europa League, then win that the next season when you are in it, then win the Champions League in that next year too.

Great vid Alfie, now fancy doing one about Jersey/Guernsey? Both have attempted multiple times to ascend to full FIFA recognition, both have failed. For interesting reasons…

[@exsandgrounder]

Yes, and like Monaco, they have club sides that compete "abroad" (in England of course), although given they're not as good as Monaco they have less to lose. I'm a Guernsey resident and I think there would be sufficient national pride to support FIFA accession, plus there is sufficient local base to form a national team. Meanwhile, there is the Island Games and Muratti Vase that "national" teams from both islands compete in. There has been some talent from the islands too, with Graeme le Saux (Jersey) and Matt le Tissier (Guernsey), and Alex Scott of Guernsey is now a Premier League player. According to Wikipedia, Jersey's FA was considering accession to CONCACAF last year in a quote from the Greenland manager.

They were in the past treated as Welsh, as there was no.league of Wales. Cardiff, Wrexham and Swansea were in Europe a lot until 30 years ago.

[@OutdatedBeverage]

@@gvogas I believe but I could be wrong, that UEFA essentially told the 4 big Welsh clubs that if they continued to compete in the Welsh cup they would have to become full members of the FAW and be classified as a “guest” in England and that would mean their only route (like Vaduz) to enter European competition would now be through the Welsh cup. So now as you say they are de jure English clubs but de facto Welsh. But I think the comparison stands because it’s precisely what the Welsh clubs (which operate more akin to how Monaco does today) would have been faced with.

[@exsandgrounder]

There's also Derry City, playing in the Republic of Ireland's football league despite being in Northern Ireland- and they have qualified for European football recently.

Ellan Vannin is the name given to the team put out by the Manx International Football Association. MIFA is a ConIFA member, but not affiliated with the Isle of Man FA. The IOMFA acts as a County FA under the FA. MIFA and the IOMFA have an agreement under which any players playing on the Isle of Man are eligible to represent Ellan Vannin, therefore making the Ellan Vannin team a _de facto_ Isle of Man Football League representative side, although not the official IOMFL representative side that competes in the FA Inter-League Cup and has represented England in the UEFA Regions' Cup twice (2007 and 2015).

Haha, a really nice elaboration on what everyone first thinks seeing the question in the title: Why Doesn't Monaco Have A National Football Team? - Because there is practically no such thing as "a nation of Monaco" to represent. In theory - yes. In reality - no. (I was a bit surprised to learn Monaco has a national Olympic Committee and does compete in the Olympics though - I guess individual sports are a bit of a different case than team sports...)

Imagine the pope's XI football team lol. Could have a holy grail(cup) all the clubs associatied with religious ideologies instead of going to war just play football

[@willmcreavy9623]

I have to say I agree that hull is nicer than Monaco. My dad used to live there and there are some quite nice parts

[@santinocarabelli-yd5yw]

I think it's quite a lost opportunity, Monaco's NT could be a haven for French players who aren't good enough for France but are too good for, say, Guyana, could make a great XI to fight for qualification even

@20:00 - Aha, so Vatican City does have a football team after all - gotcha!

[@Timsmith13911]

Alfie actually mentioned mark hateley and didn’t mention the Hull City link

[@anthonyemerson2965]

There should be a Vatican City national team. Pope Francis as striker, cardinals on the wing, and the Swiss guards’ uniforms already look like a keeper’s kit

I’m a simple man. I see ‘HITC Sevens have posted a video’ I click.

Leaving Charles leclerc out of the squad is a crime 😂😂

Monaco would literally just buy the best athletes in the world & give them full citizenship if they would have a national team.

[@MartijnterHaar]

- Victor Langellotti is a pretty good Monegasque cyclist (he recently signed for Ineos), whose career got derailed for a bit when he got addicted to FIFA. So he has stamina and he knows football, might be enough to make the national team? - I think an even better example than Forchério would be Massimo Bonini, who played in Juventus midfield next to Platini, but on a national level played for San Marino. - Would Swansea and Cardiff have the same problem as FC Vaduz if they started doing well in the Premier League?

Still loving the WATMORE edits 😂

[@pokemonfan1947]

Wouldn't Monaco technically have a very high UEFA coefficient though since Monaco has been in the UCL frequently?

[@MatheusFernandes-xf4zm]

The Monaco club plays in the French league

[@stopspyingonme9210]

What if a bunch of rich footballers decided to move to Monaco and take over the world game?
