Imagine if Portugal were to split into independent states, who would get to keep the sporting titles?

This was the topic of a lively discussion among friends during a recent gathering. For instance, Portugal holds a European Championship trophy. Which state would claim ownership of the trophy? Some suggested it would go to the state with the most players on the winning team, while others believed it should belong to the state of the player who scored the victory goal.

We can extend this hypothetical scenario to the United States, considering what would happen if states became independent. For example, in the Olympics, which states would keep the medals? Share your thoughts on this hypothetical situation with fellow stackers.
