Correct, interest has only developed fairly recently, I guess since they played their first 'international' around the turn of the century. There is also fears of jeopardising AS Monaco's place in French football, although precedent suggests it wouldn't they don't want to take any chances.It is unquestionably a sovereign country though there was a law , changed about a decade back, that if there were no Grimaldi heirs then France could take it back. 
Along with the Vatican they are the only two without national teams, that is registered with UEFA, they have actually played each other on occasion. The Vatican squad is mainly chosen from the Swiss guard and other workers and not priests aged over 75.

I would have thought that there are very few Monegasque citizens. Surely most of the residents are foreign nationals. It would be very hard to put a team together.

Supposedly  they have about 60 players to choose from mostly amateurs

They also have a population of 100,000, which is bigger than a few of the other minnows, with another 70,000 on the other islands (though these may not be eligible).

I'd guess that quite a few of the population wasn't born on Jersey, either.

And afaik, they have a long tradition of Portugese immigrants coming to the island to provide labour to the agricultural industry.

Forgot about the Armenia/Azerbaijan dispute but if the logistics of a tournament with 3/4 neighbouring hosts was feasible they would be the regions I'd like to see the tournaments in.
 
Anyway onto my other suggestion
 
Russia/Crimea/Chechnya co-hosted tournament Cool

I didn't realise that, cheers. More has been made of Guernsey's club team in recent years.

True.  This is also why Barcelona are such hippocrites.  They like to portray themselves as bastions of Catalan nationalism, more than a club etc., but when push come to shove, go out of their way to avoid questions about Catalan independence - witness their deafening silence during the non-binding Catalan referendum last year - knowing full well they'd never pull out of La Liga and the twice yearly El Clasicos to play in a Catalonia national league.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. It is difficult to tell their level of hypocrisy, although they have sold most things out over the past decade or so. I am sure they would advocate a European league of some sort.

Turkey has just confirmed they'll be bidding to host this too. Who knows what state the world will be in in 2024 but with IS attacks, the coup, etc, not sure I'd be going. 4 of the stadiums will be in Istanbul too...

Not a chance they'll get it. Mere formality for Deutschland to be awarded it

Turkey have applied for last few with no joy so they may be due a favour from UEFA, I'd say if France 2016 was looked into like the FIFA World Cups there would most likely be brown envelopes involved with Platini's name on them.

Saying that, with the supposed re form in UEFA after Platini I'd fully expect Germany to get it, as it's a no brainer.
