The list of Catalan footballers features male association football players from Catalonia, one of Spain's seventeen autonomous communities and a territory with a population of over 7 million, plus the adjoining Pyrénées-Orientales, a French department, who have reached international status with the national teams as specified, the vast majority representing Spain.[1][2][3]
The region has a representative squad – the Catalonia national football team – but they are not recognised by FIFA, were inactive for long periods and only play friendly matches against FIFA teams or against other sides with similar status such as the Basque Country.[4][5][6]
Catalonia national team players (since 1997)
Listed below are the players who have featured for the Catalonia international team dating from 1997 when regular fixtures against FIFA national teams were arranged. As of May 2019, there have been 25 matches played in this era (including four against the Basque Country who have the same unofficial status as Catalonia and select their squads on the same basis), with 141 players involved.
