Catalonia national football team is the official football team of Catalonia, Spain. It is organized by the Catalonia Football Federation. The team has been referred to by various names including Selecció Catalana, Selecció de Barcelona and the Catalan XI. Catalonia is not affiliated to either FIFA or UEFA and is therefore not allowed to participate in either the FIFA World Cup or the European Championship. However since 1904 the team has played nearly 200 games against various national, regional and club teams. Since 1997 they have played international games more regularly. Among the teams they have played are Nigeria, Brazil and Argentina. Their most recent game was a 4-2 win over Argentina at Camp Nou in December 2009.

On 3 November 2009, it was agreed that Johan Cruyff would become the coach of the side, taking the reins officially from 9th November 2009.
