I've counted 140 countries but there are a few where players were only part of a team without playing in any actual PL match.



Out of European countires no Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Moldova, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City. No surprises really.



Jordi Amat though he only acquired Indonesian citizenship a few years after he left Swansea.
Faroe Islands?

I play a similar game when teaching across London. Got excited when I taught a child from Tibet and another from Chad in the same day.
All the Japanese kids are Brighton fans.
Has there been a Panamanian? My Dad had a Panamanian grandmother, so he could have played for them at an international level (if he wasn't tut at the soccer).

Liechtenstein have had at least two players in the Football League. Midfielder Franz Burgmeier played for Darlington in 2008-09 season. Bournemouth signed goalkeeper Benjamin Büchel in 2012. He never played for them but did go on to play for Oxford United in the football league.
