History

Composition

The team is composed of players who play in the Tercera División Group 5 and regional lower divisions - all operated autonomously within Catalonia but under the pyramid of the Spanish football league system - with eligibility criteria being club (must play for a club in the territory), age (must be between 18 and 35) and amateur status (must never have signed a contract as a professional).[1][2]

Participation in competitions

The team plays in the biennial UEFA Regions' Cup and they were runners-up in the overall pan-European tournament in 2013,[3][4] having won the preceding Spanish qualifying tournament in 2011–12.[5] The Catalans retained the national stage title (where they compete against equivalent teams from each of the autonomous communities of Spain) in 2013–14,[6] but did not progress from their intermediate group in the subsequent 2015 UEFA Regions' Cup.[7]
