The Andorra national football team is controlled by the Andorran Football Federation. Andorra is a very new country in international football, and the national team has existed for less than 10 years. 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.
