History
Palau hosted and competed in the Micronesian Games in 1998, in which they finished third. In the tournament, teams were 9-a-side and the matches were 80 minutes in duration and were played on a pitch which was below regulation size. In addition to their first team, Palau also fielded a team consisting of Bangladeshi's living on the island.[2] They reached the final in the Micronesian Games in 2014,[3] where the team's trip was partly covered by internet crowd funding.[4]
