The Canary Islands national football team is the "regional" football team for the Canary Islands, Spain that contests only friendly matches as the Canary Islands are represented internationally by the Spain national football team. They are unaffiliated with FIFA or UEFA/CAF.[1]

The Canary Islands under-19 team competes annually in the Atlantic Cup, an international tournament for U19 soccer teams held on the island of Gran Canaria, measuring themselves against the Spanish team and two other guests, in a competition that starts in the semifinals.[2]
