Langbahn Team – Weltmeisterschaft

List of Catalan footballers

Location of Catalonia, which has produced many players for the Spain national team, and others

The list of Catalan footballers features male association football players from Catalonia, one of Spain's seventeen autonomous communities and a territory with a population of over 7 million, plus the adjoining Pyrénées-Orientales, a French department, and also the Sardinian city of Alghero. All of them have reached international status with the national teams as specified, the vast majority representing Spain.[1][2][3]

The region has a representative squad – the Catalonia national football team – but they are not recognised by FIFA, were inactive for long periods and only play friendly matches against FIFA teams or against other sides with similar status such as the Basque Country.[4][5][6]

Catalonia national team players (since 1997)

Listed below are the players who have featured for the Catalonia international team dating from 1997 when regular fixtures against FIFA national teams were arranged. As of May 2019, there have been 25 matches played in this era (including four against the Basque Country who have the same unofficial status as Catalonia and select their squads on the same basis), with 141 players involved.

  28. ^ a b Pepe Reina and Andrés Iniesta are the only players to have featured for Catalonia since 1997 who would not have definitely qualified to do so under standard FIFA eligibility criteria (other than the rule on being 'cap-tied' to another national team, which does not apply), although at the time of their respective selections both had lengthy associations with the region playing for the youth teams of FC Barcelona.
  29. ^ Soler, an amateur player with CE Manresa, was called up to the squad at late notice having performed well in the Spanish stage of the UEFA Regions' Cup.[9]
