The small countries of
Europe are defined, for purposes of participating in the
Games of the Small States of Europe, as those whose
population is under one million. There are currently
eight countries meeting this criterion and eligible to
participate in the GSSE. The Faroe Islands, although
recognised by FIFA, the governing body of football, do
not have a separate Olympic Committee. Montenegro, whose
National Olympic Committee was recognised in 2007, has
not yet requested to join the GSSE.
