Keep I would have thought that a national team is notable. There should be coverage on the team, and there is - [1][2][3][4][5], this is before you get to the local language of the country. It should qualify under WP:GNG (WP:NSPORT does not actually cover teams except for a few individual sports, see WP:NTEAM, but perhaps it should, as I think nominations such as this are unnecessary).

Keep Per sources by Hzh. Nominator should have done a better search WP:BEFORE nominating, notability of the GNG is based on what exists, not based on the current sourcing in the article. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 23:54, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
