The '''Seychelles national football team''', nicknamed ''the Pirates'', represents [[Seychelles]] in international [[association football|football]] and is controlled by the [[Seychelles Football Federation]] (SFF). SFF has been a member of the [[Confederation of African Football]] (CAF) and [[FIFA]] since 1986.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Sport in The Seychelles|url=https://www.topendsports.com/world/countries/seychelles.htm|website=topendsports.com|access-date=2020-05-29|archive-date=21 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220121112145/https://www.topendsports.com/world/countries/seychelles.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> The team's home stadium is the 10,000-capacity [[Stade Linité]] located in [[Roche Caiman]] in the outskirts of [[Victoria, Seychelles|Victoria]], the capital of Seychelles.<ref name=":0" />

== History ==

Football was introduced to Seychelles in the 1930s. Its first official competition, the Challenge Cup, was organized in 1936. Then in 1941, a championship between five teams was set up with matches of 60 minutes, played barefoot.<ref>{{cite web |title=History Of Seychelles Football & Federation |url=http://www.cerf-resort.com/seychellesfootball.html |website=Cerf Resort |access-date=25 September 2020 |archive-date=13 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160813214541/http://www.cerf-resort.com/seychellesfootball.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 1969, the president of the [[Seychelles Football Federation]] wanted to set up a national team. Engaged on a voluntary basis, [[Adrian Fisher (football coach)|Adrian Fisher]] arrived on the island in September to reorganize Seychelles football. He equipped all the players with shoes, introduced contemporary training techniques and extended the match time to 90 minutes. The newly-formed national team played their first matches at a friendly tournament in Kenya in April 1970. In Seychelles' first matches played on a real football pitch, they drew 2–2 against [[Feisal F.C.]] then lost 1–2 to Mwengi at [[Mombasa Municipal Stadium]]. When Fisher left Seychelles in 1973, the team had played six games against four clubs.

Seychelles played their first match against another national team on March 13, 1974, against [[Réunion national football team|Réunion]]. In this friendly match, the ''Pirates'' lost 0–2. Two years later, this time as an independent nation, the Seychelles faced Réunion again, losing 1–4. In September 1977, they played their first match against a FIFA-affiliated team, [[Mauritius national football team|Mauritius]], during a tournament played in Réunion, and lost 1–2. The team enjoyed its first victory the following year by beating Réunion 1–0 at home.

[[File:Seychelles v Ethiopia 5 September 2015.jpg|thumb|right|Seychelles v [[Ethiopia national football team|Ethiopia]] at [[Stade Linité]], 5 September 2015]]
In 1979, Seychelles played their first tournament, the [[Football at the 1979 Indian Ocean Island Games|1979 Indian Ocean Games]]. They lost their first game 3–0 to [[Réunion national football team|Réunion]], and beat [[Maldives national football team|Maldives]] 9–0 in their second. In the semi-final, they knocked out [[Mauritius national football team|Mauritius]] 4–2 on penalties after a 1–1 draw, but in the final they lost 2–1 to Réunion.

Seychelles were eliminated from the group stage at the [[Football at the 1985 Indian Ocean Island Games|1985 Indian Ocean Games]] but, on August 31, 1986, they played their first competitive match recognised by [[FIFA]] and [[Confederation of African Football|CAF]], following their affiliation with both organisations, a qualification match against Mauritius for the [[Football at the 1987 All-Africa Games|1987 All-Africa Games]], which they lost 1–2. They participated, for the first time, in the [[1988 African Cup of Nations]] qualifiers against Mauritius but lost 1–3 over the two legs.

At the [[Football at the 1990 Indian Ocean Island Games|1990 Indian Ocean Games]], the team suffered the heaviest defeat in its history against [[Madagascar national football team|Madagascar]] in the semi-final, losing 0–6. In the bronze medal match, they won against [[Comoros national football team|Comoros]] 3–1. Despite hosting the [[Football at the 1993 Indian Ocean Island Games|following games]], the team failed to repeat this performance, losing all four games and finishing last in the competition.

After the elimination from the preliminary phase of the [[1996 African Cup of Nations]] by Mauritius 2–1 over the two legs, [[Vojo Gardašević]] was hired to lead the team. Following that, the ''Pirates'' again finished third in the [[Football at the 1998 Indian Ocean Island Games|1998 Indian Ocean Games]] and, two years later, competed in the [[2002 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF first round|World Cup qualifiers]] for the first time. Playing against [[Namibia national football team|Namibia]] they drew 1–1 in [[Stade Linité]], thanks to a goal by [[Philip Zialor]] but lost the second leg 0–3. Seychelles were also eliminated in the preliminary round of the [[2000 African Cup of Nations qualification|2000 African Cup of Nations]] by [[Zimbabwe national football team|Zimbabwe]] 0–6 over the two matches. Seychelles fared better in the qualification for the [[2004 African Cup of Nations qualification|2004 African Cup of Nations]] as the team, led by [[Dominique Bathenay]] then [[Michael Nees]], finished third and recorded two prestigious home wins: beating [[Eritrea national football team|Eritrea]] 1–0 with a goal by veteran [[Roddy Victor]], and beating a [[Peter Ndlovu]]-led Zimbabwe team 2–1 with goals by strikers [[Alpha Baldé]] and [[Philip Zialor]]. Following that they achieved a bronze medal at the [[Football at the 2003 Indian Ocean Island Games|2003 Indian Ocean Games]], then were eliminated in the preliminary round of the [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF first round|2006 World Cup]] by [[Zambia national football team|Zambia]], 1–5 in the two games.

In [[2011 in Seychellois football|2011]], Seychelles hosted the [[Football at the 2011 Indian Ocean Island Games|2011 Indian Ocean Island Games]] and won the tournament for the first time, beating [[Mauritius national football team|Mauritius]] in the final on penalties.<ref>{{Cite web|last=FIFA.com|date=27 August 2020|title=Spectacular Seychelles' footballing passion|url=https://www.fifa.com/news/spectacular-seychelles-footballing-passion|access-date=2020-09-25|language=en-GB|archive-date=25 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200925194036/https://www.fifa.com/news/spectacular-seychelles-footballing-passion|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=FIFA.com|date=1 September 2011|title=Seychelles making historic waves|url=https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/news/seychelles-making-historic-waves-1502486|access-date=2020-09-25|language=en-GB}}{{dead link|date=October 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

The rest of the 2010s saw little success for ''The Pirates'' with the high point achieved during [[2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification]] where they managed a 2–0 win over [[Lesotho national football team|Lesotho]] and a 1–1 draw with [[Ethiopia national football team|Ethiopia]] to finish third in their four-team group.{{Citation needed|date=May 2020}}

== FIFA Goal programme ==
In 2006, a new technical centre in [[Mahé, Seychelles|Mahé]] was opened, with help from the FIFA Goal programme.<ref>{{Cite web|date=21 April 2009|title=Seychelles FIFA Goal Project|url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/goalproject/sey_eng.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180317231938/https://www.fifa.com/mm/goalproject/sey_eng.pdf|archive-date=17 March 2018|access-date=24 September 2020|website=FIFA.com}}</ref> The project had a total cost of approximately 750,000 USD. [[James Michel]], president of the Seychelles, was present at the inauguration. The technical centre houses the SFF headquarters, an auditorium, 20 bedrooms, two massage rooms, changing rooms and a restaurant. The centre is located next to the turf pitches that were also installed by the Goal programme in 2003.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Seychelles Football Federation & history|url=http://www.cerf-resort.com/seychellesfootball.html|access-date=2020-09-25|website=www.cerf-resort.com|archive-date=13 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160813214541/http://www.cerf-resort.com/seychellesfootball.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=16 February 2006|title=Goal Project 2-Seychelles' football house inaugurated|url=http://www.nation.sc/archive/212893/football-goal-project-2-seychelles-football-house-inaugurated|access-date=2020-09-25|website=[[Seychelles Nation]]|archive-date=21 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211121015009/https://www.nation.sc/archive/212893/football-goal-project-2-seychelles-football-house-inaugurated|url-status=live}}</ref>
