The national football team of the Two Sicilies is the football team of the Two Sicilies, which are a territory formed by the southern part of Italy without the Island of Sicily although the name suggests otherwise. The team is controlled by the Italian: Regno delle Due Sicilie FA.[1] As the Two Sicilies are not a recognised state they are neither a member of FIFA nor UEFA, and the team therefore is not eligible to enter either the World Cup or European Championship. However, from January 2010, they became a provisional member[2] of the NF-Board. Now the team is a member of ConIFA.[3]
In December 2008, the national football team of the Two Sicilies was established on the initiative of Guglielmo Di Grezia and Antonio Pagano, with the purpose, then not achieved, to participate in the 2009 VIVA World Cup.[4] [5] On April 30, 2009, the team played its first match against Padania in Darfo Boario Terme[6] during the charity tournament "1° Trofeo SMArathon".
They made their VIVA World Cup debut against Iraqi Kurdistan, of the fourth edition of the tournament.[7] Two Sicilies took fourth place, losing the 3rd-place match against Occitania.On 23 September 2010 the team took part in the second edition of "Trofeo del Mediterraneo", against Gozo and ASD Castellana, which they went on to win.[8]
President Massimo Amitrano has called up several players from 7 regions of the south, among the former professional footballers, also making their debut: Giuseppe Garziano, Mario Ferri, Maykol Setola.
Giuseppe Garziano (2001) is the first Sicilian footballer to make his debut in 2021 against the Isola D'Elba national team.
In 2023, Two Sicilies participated in the 2024 CONIFA World Cup Qualifiers. They were placed in Group C with Sekler Land and Chameria. Two Sicilies ended up losing both their games, 3-1 to Chameria and 7-0 to Sekler Land. They were the only side not to qualify to the tournament.
The Regno delle Due Sicilie FA is The Football Association of Two Sicilies.[9]
