they are comprised mainly of the Swiss Guard who are the only ones who can become a citizen of the vatican. members of the pope's council and other italians can't become vatican citizens,due to Italian law. because of this it's rare that Vatican City are able to form a full team and only play exhibition matches
FIFA wouldn't allow a nation to compete who had foreigners with no citizenship of the country they are playing

They are a country ...but then, if everyone is playing, who will be praying for them? Can't also imagine a squad captained by the Pope and having Cardinals, Bishops.....who'll be the coach? God!
Worse still, most of them keep being posted to other countries....so the team will be everchanging with no italians??
Then what of money....any of them to make as much as Beckham....and who will sponsor them? Not addidas, maybe because of the commercials, the Mafia?
HaHa...pls look at the lighter side of life....OK?

they are a country. but the vatican has never really pushed for a football squad. they lack proper licensing, but its not like the vatican are annoyed by it. they don't want a team. as it would require funding and such.

Perhaps the problem is playing in the robes - I would imagine that to be quite difficult.
Or perhaps the hats.
