The Federated States of Micronesia national football team is the national team of the Federated States of Micronesia and is controlled by the Federated States of Micronesia Football Association. The team is not a member of FIFA, or a regional confederation, and therefore cannot compete in the World Cup.

Overview

The team has only played a handful of matches, the last in 2003.[3] In 2015 the Under-23 team suffered a series of heavy defeats at the Pacific Games, though the presence of a side at the tournament was intended to be the first step towards having a more permanent national team with FIFA recognition.[4]

1999 Micronesian Cup

In 1999, the Micronesian island Yap hosted the Micronesian Cup. This was a three-team tournament consisting of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia and an international team known as Crusaders (or Crushers according to other sources). On 12 July 1999, the Federated States of Micronesia competed in their first competitive match as they defeated the Northern Mariana Islands 7–0. The team won their second group match 4–1 against Crusaders to qualify for the final. Again, they faced Crusaders and Peter Paul Igesumal scored seven times as the Federated States of Micronesia won 14–1 to win the tournament.[5]
