Football in Andorra

The sport of football in the country of Andorra is run by the Andorran Football Federation. The federation administers the Andorran national football team, as well as the Andorran First Division.
Andorra is a very new country in international football, and the national team has existed for less than 10 years. They have recorded three victories so far against Belarus, Albania, and Republic of Macedonia, all of which were at home. They are known as one of the most penalized teams in Europe, having received more red & yellow cards in the WC 2006 Qualifiers than any other team. The most famous Andorran player is probably Albert Celades who has played for both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The midfielder even made it to the Spanish national team.
