 *I'll be honest, I don't know much about the topic nor do I claim to (and thus have no vested interest in the articles/template), but I don't think that WP:CSD#A7 applies. The articles appear to claim importance as national squads (with players/coaches notable enough for articles having been involved with them), which as a lower threshold than notability prevents speedy deletion in my opinion. As for the template, since the articles still currently exist, their existence in the template appears justified. If you feel the squads are notable, I have no objection to you taking them to AfD.  / "
