National team
From Hattrick
A national team regroups the players considered to be the best players of a given country by the current national coach or U-20 national coach. There are two categories of national teams: the national teams with players of all ages and the U-20 national teams with players that are younger than 21 years and one day.
A player can only be a member of the national team of his own country, he will also never be able to change his nationality.

U-20 national teams
U-20 National Teams consist only of players below 21 years of age from (born in) the national team's country. In most countries, only the players that are pulled as 17 year olds with decent primary and secondary skills stand a chance to be trained to a high enough level to be selected before they turn 21. In large countries, this often means only players who are aged 17, with an excellent main skill pulled on the very first week of the season are suitable U20 material. As such Week 1 excellent players are highly prized, and are sold for incredibly high prices.
The U-20's national coach is elected every two seasons by the users of the country the team is from.
National teams
National Teams are able to select players of any age, as long as they are of the same nationality as the National Team. The skill level required for a player to make it into the national team differ from country to country, and is primarily based on the age and size of the country in Hattrick. In the larger countries a player typically needs to be near divine in one of his primary skills in order to make it.
The senior team's national coach is elected every two seasons by the users of the country the team is from; the election is staggered to happen on different seasons than the U-20 elections.

Most of the time having a national team player is considered an honour. Many teams around the globe fully dedicate their teams to training U20 and/or NT players. However farm teams are disliked by many.
National team trackers
Most teams use a database to keep track of their players. There usually is a tracking tool that has been granted the status of a global tracker and that any country can use if they want to. Besides it there are a few local trackers that were created by users that maintain a CHPP licence for a particular country.
