The Corsica national football team (Corsican: Squadra Corsa di Balò) is the unofficial football team for the island of Corsica, France. It is not affiliated with FIFA or UEFA. Until now, the selection has played against national teams only three times : in 1967 against France, in 1998, just before the 1998 FIFA World Cup against Cameroon (as a preparation game for the Lions Indomptables), and more recently in 2009 against Congo.
In the past, the selection has also played against club teams, as in 1962 against OGC Nice, or Stade Reims in 1963.
The match against Congo was organized by the CFA (Corsica Football Association). In order to be called up for the team, a player had to fulfil two conditions: having at least one parent or grandparent from Corsica and being a professional player or being part of a professional club.

The defender's club has issued a statement to confirm the absence of the player from the Super Eagles camp in Corsica


Mainz 05 have confirmed Leon Balogun’s withdrawal from the Nigeria team to play Corsica and Togo on May 26 and June 1 respectively.

The centre-back limped off the pitch in the 18th minute and was replaced by Alexander Hack as the Zerofivers lost 2-0 to Koln in their last Bundesliga game of the season.

The 28-year-old defender was scheduled to join the Super Eagles in Corsica for preparation ahead of the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Africa and might be a doubt for the crucial fixture on June 10.

“Due to an injury he picked up in the final game of the season, @LeonBalogun has had to withdraw from international duty with Nigeria,” the club tweeted.

The Super Eagles commenced training with 12 available players on Wednesday morning

Nigeria are short on manpower ahead of their international friendly with Corsica on Friday, May 26.

Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye, has confirmed a story broken by allnigeriasoccer.com on Wednesday that a number of players have withdrawn from the friendly against the Islanders.

Apart from the 16 players currently in camp, comprising of two goalkeepers and fourteen outfield players, eight of the other invitees will not join the training camp leading up to Friday's game.

Therefore, John Ogu, Wilfred Ndidi, Moses Simon, Isaac Success, Noah Serenren-Bazee and Victor Osimhen will definitely not make the match day squad for the game at Stade Francois Coty in Ajaccio.

It was already settled that Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi and the young Chelsea defender Ola Aina will join the team in France as from Sunday because of the Emirates FA Cup final between the two London teams.

1. CORSICA: A FRENCH REGION AND ISLAND IN MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the 13 regions of France. It is located west of the Italian Peninsula, southeast of the French mainland, and north of the Italian island of Sardinia.





After being ruled by the Republic of Genoa since 1284, Corsica was briefly an independent Corsican Republic from 1755 until it was conquered by France in 1769.

The native Corsican language, whose northern variant is closely related to the Italian language, is recognised as a regional language by the French government.

2. CORSICA'S POPULATION IS LESS THAN FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND

As of January 2013, the population of Corsica was put at 322,120 inhabitants.

At the 2011 census, 56.3% of the inhabitants of Corsica were natives of Corsica, 28.6% were natives of Continental France, 0.3% were natives of Overseas France, and 14.8% were natives of foreign countries.

The majority of the foreign immigrants in Corsica come from the Maghreb (particularly Moroccans, who made up 33.5% of all immigrants in Corsica at the 2011 census), and from Southern Europe (particularly Portuguese, 22.7% of immigrants on the island), and Italians (13.7%).

3. CORSICA'S EVER FOOTBALL MATCH WAS AGAINST FRANCE

Corsica's first ever football match was against France on 28 February 1967, in a friendly game.

The Game which was played inside Stade Vélodrome, home ground of Olympique Marseille, saw Corsica winning 2-0.

That was the first and only time both teams have met.

4. FIRST AFRICAN OPPONENT WAS INDOMITABLE LIONS OF CAMEROON

The first African team Corsica played against was in a friendly game against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in 1998.

It was a preparatory game for Cameroon ahead of the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.

Played at Stade Armand Cesari, Bastia, Cameroon triumphed 1-0 against Corsica.

5. CORSICA NOT AFFILIATED TO FIFA OR UEFA

Unlike Nigeria who are registered member of Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) and Confederation of Africa Football (CAF), Corsica are not affiliated to FIFA or Union of European Football Association (UEFA).

Due to their status, Corsica do not get any rankings from the world and European football governing body.

This means they are not part of the 206 recognised National teams by FIFA.

6. CORSICA LAST PLAYED A FOOTBALL GAME IN 2016

The last time Corsica played a football match was on 27 May 2016 in a friendly against Basque Country.

They lost 9-8 on penalties against Basque Country after regulation time ended 1-1.

This means Corsica has gone almost a year without playing a football match.
