Countries Playing in Leagues (Ie FC Andorra play in Spain)

[jamie_B_105]

In preparation for FM23, I was wondering which teams represent a country while playing in another country/division, similar to the below:

 

• FC Andorra (Play in Spain)

• FC Vaduz (Liechtenstein that play in Switzerland)

 

I’m not sure if the Swiss league is coming to FM23?

 

Quite enjoyed last years save, being the FC Andorra manager while producing players for the Andorran national team. Took a few decades to become La Liga and World Cup winners.

The welsh teams (Swansea, Cardiff, Wrexham, Newport County etc) in the English football pyramid?

Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal (Canada) in MLS. 

Wellington Phoenix (New Zealand) in Australia.

A couple more answers to this:

Derry City are based in Northern Ireland but play in the Republic of Ireland (League of Ireland). 

ASD Victor San Marino are from San Marino but play in the Italian pyramid - however they're very low down in Eccellenza (two tiers below playable leagues).

AS Monaco FC are in Monaco but play in France.

Thank you. Great article.

 

Hopefully one day ASD Victor San Marino make it up the divisions or become playable.

 

Presumably with say San Marino and Monaco, once that nation has enough players for that nation available on the database, you can become national manager?

 

Are the players produced from the Monaco academy Monégasque to play for the national team?

Presumably you won’t be able to manage Catalonia as a nation even if you produced enough players?

Are there any other teams in FM24 similar to the above?
