Meet Latest Country To Have National Football Team

Oceanian country, Marshall Islands have become the latest country in the world to assemble a football national team.

The next step for the Islands which are located between Hawaii and the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean, is to apply to be a member of the world football governing body, FIFA if their application to be part of the Oceanian Football Confederation becomes a success.

While they were working on having a national football team, the Marshall Islands established their Marshall Islands Soccer Association in 2020. The association’s goal is to join FIFA and the Oceanian Confederation.

It was gathered that the Islands with a population of 60,000 people would use their newly formed national team in the Micronesian Games which the country will host from June 15 to 24, 2024.

The games were postponed from 2022 to 2024, first due to the economic effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and then a delay in the completion of the new Marshall Islands Stadium.

While the stadium project is ongoing, the football authority in the country has started recruiting footballers into the men’s and women’s national teams.

On Tuesday, September 19, the country launched their official kit for the national teams.

It was further gathered that the kits were made of recycled plastic and featured blue, white, and orange which represent the country’s picturesque sunset.
