Comments on: What is a disproportion in between Spain’s inhabitant soccer group as well as Catalonia inhabitant team? http://travelbie.com/spain/what-is-the-difference-between-spains-national-soccer-team-and-catalonia-national-team.travel Travel the Traveller Blog Thu, 03 Nov 2011 22:48:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Xinoxano http://travelbie.com/spain/what-is-the-difference-between-spains-national-soccer-team-and-catalonia-national-team.travel/comment-page-1#comment-3023 Xinoxano Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:51:53 +0000 http://travelbie.com/spain/what-is-the-difference-between-spains-national-soccer-team-and-catalonia-national-team.travel#comment-3023 Both previous answers are right. Catalonia (capital Barcelona) is an autonomous region (for us it is a nation) with a different language (Catalan) and different customs and institutions. I would add: - David Villa could not play for Catalonia, as he's not Catalan, but from Asturias. Same for example with Iniesta, even if he plays at a Catalan team (like Xavi or Piqué) like FC Barcelona, he's not Catalan but from Castile. - As long as Catalonia is not allowed to play official competitions but only friendly matches, Catalan players will always be able to play with Spain and with Catalonia. If Catalonia became an independent state they would play for Catalonia only. But if Catalonia were allowed to play official competitions with the present political situation (like Scotland or Wales do), I suppose the players would have to opt for one or the other national team. Both prior answers have been right. Catalonia (capital Barcelona) is an unconstrained segment (for us it is a nation) with a opposite denunciation (Catalan) as well as opposite etiquette as well as institutions.

I would add:

- David Villa could not fool around for Catalonia, as he’s not Catalan, though from Asturias. Same for e.g. with Iniesta, even if he plays during a Catalan group (like Xavi or Piqué) similar to FC Barcelona, he’s not Catalan though from Castile.

- As prolonged as Catalonia is not authorised to fool around central competitions though usually accessible matches, Catalan players will regularly be means to fool around with Spain as well as with Catalonia.

If Catalonia became an eccentric state they would fool around for Catalonia only. But if Catalonia were authorised to fool around central competitions with a benefaction domestic incident (like Scotland or Wales do), we suspect a players would have to opt for a single or a alternative inhabitant team.

The region is not recognized by FIFA and can not participate in FIFA sanctioned competitions. As such, the players you cite above are eligible to play for Spain as, legally, they have Spanish passports. Catalonia is an unconstrained segment of Spain, similar to a Basque region. The segment is not famous by FIFA as well as can not experience in FIFA authorised competitions. As such, a players we bring on top of have been authorised to fool around for Spain as, legally, they have Spanish passports.
