We can take Vatican City :VAT 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.

Time for a new NOC! :clap:

If it were up to me, :VAT 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.
