    		The Saarland national football team --

    The only time that the Saarland entered the World Cup was for the 1954 event. They were drawn in Group 1 alongside the West Germany based DFB team and Norway, in a triangular series. In the opening round in summer 1953, they won their only competitive away match, beating Norway 3-2 in Oslo after trailing 0-2, and with only 10 effective players, after an early substitute due to injury, and Theodor Puff staying on the field with a broken fibula.
