Apparently Vatican City has roughly 30 female inhabitants. I wonder how many other nations have such a high percentage of their population being an athlete :d

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

Yep and they have another woman (Sara Carnicelli) who was injured. So... 1/15th!

Why are they not official competitors?

Wow! That I didn't expect, I thought they'd join World Athletics first.

I meant to share this a few days ago. It provides a short overview of Vatican City sport.

The United States has officially recognized :NIU Niue as a country.

 

Could they join the 2028 Olympics? They are already a member of five federations (Judo, Rugby, Table Tennis, Weightlifting, Wrestling). Niue and the Cook Islands are uniquely classified by the UN as “non-member states”.

 

But, all Niueans are New Zealand citizens.

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.

      I still shocks, that a country of 4-5 million inhabitants? can be a powerhouse in almost every winter sport + handball, football (most recently with Haaland) and athletics: Ingebrigtsen, Warholm, etc. With such a small population, they can't be missing out on any major talent, surely? This must be the best training system in the world...

      Men's Football FIFA World Cup 2026

      By MHSN · Posted

      FIFA announced the stadium and time for each match   for  Iran, it will be 2 matches in LA (and not just 1) and 1 in Seattle and luckily we avoided playing in Canada. absolutely nothing against the country, but there are just too many douchebag Iranian groups in Vancouver trying to mix everything with their stupid politics. it's better to stay away from them.   that can happen in US too but less likely. playing in LA is more like playing at home, at least I hope so. 2022 Qatar was a disaster from our point of view, hopefully this one remains only about football.
