    If they don't withdraw.....

    Strangely, Kenya v Sudan is the only preliminary match not shown on FIFA.com, and maybe both teams have withdrawn, because if one had withdrawn, the 2nd Round match would be shown (Kenya or Sudan v Tanzania), but this is also missing.

    Madagascar are planning to play their first ever international next month against Comoros... So, in April, we should see Sudan and Madagascar as new additions to the list of teams who have played international matches, making 182 FIFA members in all.

    Also, Chad plans to field its first national team in the UNIFFAC Women's Championship this year (no dates announced yet).

    The CECAFA Women's Championship appears to have been cancelled (again). Rwanda were due to participate in this.

    UEFA was a bit slack with their reporting - it was Macedonia's U-19 team (same team that took part in U-19 Euro qualifying).

    http://www.albania-sport.com/article/12471/0/Femra-Shqiperi-Maqedoni-U19-1-0.html

    Macedonia U-19: Nikolovska, Georgeva, Taivmoski (Gulokovick 60 '), Ginuska, Stoyanov (Vesilonova 60 '), Dogleva, Roci, Naomoska (Adjulevska 58 '), Petrova, Naceva, Jakovska.**Trainer: Ivan Mihallovski**

    Albania had 13 players from Albania and 11 from Kosovo in their squad. They are preparing for 2015 World Cup qualifying, which will be their first official tournament.

    Good digging.

    Will note that it lacked Natasha Andonova (17) who played the qualifiers and was signed by Potsdam. So not quite as strong as it could have been.

    I think Madagascar v Comoros was cancelled. There was no news about it in Madagascar or Comoros. Madagascar news reported on U-20 women's national team, so I think they would have reported on the full national team had they played.

    There has been no news about the UNIFFAC Championship since it was announced it would happen. Chad's first ever women's football league finished in July this year - so something is moving - and there was some kind of tournament with a view to picking players for a national team in June:
    http://www.journaldutchad.com/article.php?aid=1352

    But there is no news of whether the national team is going to play any matches.

    Since looks like that 3 of the girls are currently playing in Italy, I Googled a bit and found out that:

    Marija Vukcevic should be the team captain, and actually is playing for Real Marsico, a Serie A2 team in the south of Italy.
    Here is the only photo of her I found ;)

    but there are a couple of clips on youtube about her, looks like a quality player...

    the other 2 players in the list are too playing in Italy for Salandra, in serie A, but in the Fussball League :eek:

    I wonder about the other girls, may be there aren't enough football (11) players to fill the roaster, who knows...

    What does that mean? :confused:
    What is the "Fussball League"? Why do they use the German word for football?

    Palestine's WNT was started in the mid-00's. They've been competing since around 2005 and attempted to qualify for the 2011 WWC (Wikipedia article, CNN article from 2009).

    And, regarding the politically delicate issue of Palestine, perhaps the topic/list should be "Countries and Football Federations Who Have Not Played Women's Internationals."

    Thank you both of you (Mr. Crossbar and Newsouth) for the info, I'll keep you updated about this event.
    Agree about the change of thread title, that way should be possible posting info about others possible WNT of not-fully recognized countries ;)

    Senegal want to play a friendly match against Gambia to prepare for their African Championship Qualifier with Morocco. This would be Gambia's first international match if they accept.

    I find it interesting that Gambia has not yet played an international match, yet their U-17 team is on the verge of qualifying for the World Cup.
