Two Angolan players who have been playing abroad are currently unattached. Their last clubs having been abroad, they are thus counted, above, as players who have been abroad.
Now that they are formally two nations (see related remarks), it is worth pointing out that Serbian players comprise the absolutely majority (22 players in all), in the joint Serbia and Montenegro 2006 Squad. The list initially handed in, at FIFA, included 2 Montenegrin players, both attached to clubs outside the country. However, as the initial list had to be altered, due to injury of one of the two Montenegrin players, a Serbian replacement was called, making a total of 22 Serbian players in the squad. This player ended up walking out (see the Serbia and Montenegro Squad page) and no replacement was allowed by FIFA; the number of Montenegrin players, however, remains unaltered: 1.
