Vatican

 

 

The Vatican does indeed have a national team and it does play quite regularly. It is a mix of "official" and "inofficial matches", mostly played in Rome and against either other non-FIFA nations like Monaco or Raetia or against clubs or selections put together just for that match, as a Roma selection in 2021. It is not a good football team, objectively, but it is not terrible either. It did draw against Raetia, e.g.. 

When it comes to football shirts, the Vatican is a complete mess. They seem to just buy a new kit for every single match. While this shirt was presented in 2022 as the "official shirt of the Vatican national team" for its 50th anniversary and is sold by the Vatican for 37€, it was likely never worn. In the first match after the announcement, the Vatican chose to instead wear an Errea shirt in a friendly in Elba. In the subsequent match, a women's match against the German club Johannistal, they then wore a different Joma design. Disappointingly, this "official anniversary shirt" is thus merely a souvenir, but not really a shirt that was ever actually used or is likely to get used.
