Montenegro national football team

The Montenegro national football team will come into existence following the 2006 FIFA World Cup; the last event at which as of 3 June 2006, the independent states of Serbia and Montenegro will compete in a united team.

UEFA have stated that they would be willing to include Montenegro as a late entry in Euro 2008 qualifying, but several barriers may well prevent this - UEFA have stated that they would need FIFA to ratify a separate Montenegrin Football Association, and this would have to be done before September 2006 - when qualifying begins.[1]

This makes it more likely that the first competitive competition for the mens' senior team will be 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying.
