History

In the first half of the 1920s, the Sur regional federation, which encompassed the Andalusia region and organised the Campeonato Regional Sur for the local clubs (dominated by Sevilla FC), decided to follow the examples of the Catalan and Centro regional federations and selected a representative team for occasional friendly matches, however, they instead made their official debut in a competitive match, in the 1922–23 Prince of Asturias Cup, an official inter-regional tournament organized by RFEF. They participated in two editions, being knocked-out in the semi-finals by the eventual Runner-up on both occasions. [2]

During the Iberoamerican Expo in Seville, 1929, Andalusia played a friendly match against Club Atlético Boca Juniors in Estadio de Heliopolis, known today as Estadio Benito Villamarín.

They rarely played again until 1963, when they were invited by the Castilian Federation to its 50-year celebrations, playing against Biscay and then Castile. [3] Two years later, during the Andalusia Football Federation's own 'golden jubilee', the regional select played against Paraguay in Estadio Sánchez Pizjuán, Seville.

In the early years of the 21st century, Andalusia played an annual fixture, usually each winter, facing the likes of Estonia, Morocco, Latvia, Chile and Malta. However, other than the regions such as Catalonia and the Basque Country with leanings towards independence whose matches draw larger crowds, matches were rarely played by the Spanish regions in the subsequent years as they did not prove cost-effective to arrange. [4] The main exception to this situation was when Andalucia faced Madrid for the latter's federation centenary in 2013, a repeat of their 1963 encounter. [5]

However, the party disbanded in 2015; there are also lesser political organisations that identify with Andalusian nationalism. Some political forces without parliamentary presence like Nación Andaluza and Asamblea Nacional de Andalucía may be found advocating independence. There is also a movement defending the idea that Andalusian is not a dialect of Spanish, but a language of its own.
