The Andorra national football team is controlled by the [[Andorran Football Federation]]. [[Andorra]] is a very new country in international football; the national team has existed for less than 10 years. They have recorded three victories so far, all at home.
They have gained a reputation as one of the most ill-disciplined international teams in Europe having accumulated more cards in the [[WC 2006|World Cup 2006]] Qualifiers than any other team.{{fact|date=June 2008}}
