We can take Vatican City  off the “Unaffiliated” list as they’ve just confirmed their first participation in this year’s Games of the Small States of Europe  

 

Wow! What about the Faroe Islands? They are part of the European Games, but not parte of the GSSE yet.

I think that’s still a grey area...I think we might see them as well in 2021 or 2023. It is a highly complicated situation for both though. However, the Holy See is in a much better position.

 Saint Pierre and Miquelon/ Saint Barthelemy have applied to CONCACAF and should be joining in September 2020.

Time for a new NOC! 

If it were up to me,  should just give citizenship to refugee athletes and allow them to compete for them. Of course they’re are a few members of the Vatican who are athletes too, so just a suggestion. I glad the Holy See will finally have a Team after being the only country not to have one for years.
