The Andorra national football team is controlled by the Andorran Football Federation. Andorra is a relative newcomer to international football, not having played a fixture until 1996. They have recorded three victories so far against Belarus, Albania, and Macedonia, all of which were at home. Only the Macedonia game was a competitive fixture. They are known as one of the most penalized teams in Europe, having received more red & yellow cards in the WC 2006 Qualifiers than any other team. Andorra are considered amongst the minnows in UEFA.
