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). The Mongolian Football Federation is in the Asian Football Confederation and the East Asian Football Federation.

Mongolia national football team results [edit]

Last year, the President of Mongolia Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj met with FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who noted the progress of the Mongolian football players. He said that he knows that it is not easy to play football in Mongolia, as the cold weather year-round makes it impractical. But despite this, he is satisfied with the growing interest of Mongolian kids and youth football in recent years.[5]

Now the country is actively building football stadiums and opencchildren's sections, coaches and referees are trained by FIFA. The success of the youth teams from Mongolia said the fifth 14-year-old Mongolian players at the Gothia cup in Sweden. The head of "Erchim" klub Badnasan said, that today's 10-year-olds will play in the future better than the foreign imports.[6][7][8]
