Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as national association football team. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

The linked authority identifier is Q579341. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
