Yeah, their "free association" status with New Zealand will probably be a problem. Faroe Islands have struggled for recognition despite the support of nearby nations.  

True, but nobody recognizes the Faroe Islands as independent. The UN (and USA) technically recognizes Niue.

 

Re. Free association isn’t Niue basically the same like Palau/Marshall Islands/Micronesia except with no separate citizenship?

I made this thread for all discussions, questions and breaking news about countries and territories that aren't IOC members; whether it's Bougainville's attempts to become independent, the Faroe Islan

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

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

Yes, I think the citizenship issue will prove the biggest hurdle for them though.

Soon it will be goodbye to the :IOT  British Indian Ocean Territory as they will become part of Mauritius.

 

No permanent residents, but the descendants of expelled indigenous residents from the 70s have a “Chagos Islands” football team. Ironically, just a few months ago, they played their first match under the “BIOT” name, and their shirts had the flag which looks pretty amazing.
