An Official Basque Soccer Team Would Flourish, But FIFA And UEFA Still Oppose


Getty ImagesLa Liga is home to a wealth of Spanish players, but not all want to play under the same flag. In many ways, an internationally registered Basque soccer team has what it takes to compete strongly on the world stage. Bureaucracy even dictates that communication between Basque and world soccer officials passes through the Spanish national soccer association (RFEF). Basque players, led by coach Javier Clemente, are limited to playing friendly matches, though a successful application to join FIFA and UEFA would provide a competitive calendar. A squad virtually composed of La Liga players is a welcome starting point, though.
