The Mongolian national football team represents the republic of Mongolia in international football under the Mongolian Football Federation. Founded in 1959 the association was inactive between 1960 and 1998 when the team did not feature in any international fixtures. From the few games played since 1998, Mongolians have won only nine games played against five different nations within the AFC (four against Guam, two against Macau and one each against Myanmar, Northern Mariana Islands and the Philippines). They are also one of only two FIFA affiliated teams (the other being American Samoa) to have ever lost to Guam. The Mongolian Football Federation is in the Asian Football Confederation and the East Asian Football Federation.
