national teams
Countries' official squads
National teams are athletic squads that represent a country in international competition, with players selected from that nation's citizens or eligible residents.
Unlike club teams, which compete domestically and may sign players from anywhere, national teams assemble only for tournaments and matches against other countries.
The national team qualified for the World Cup after a dramatic playoff victory.
The term appears most often in soccer but applies across sports from basketball to rugby.
