The Dura national football team was the football team which most recently represented the Shirerithian protectorate of Dura, and previously represented the independent nation of the same name. The team was a member of the AEFA.

History

The team was founded in mid-2009 after Dura's Micrasian claim was successful. Dura became a protectorate of Shireroth prior to the team's participation in the qualifiers for the 2010 FMF World Cup, where they finished fourth in their five-team group with eight points.

In the following year's qualifying, the team improved, finishing second in their group by three points to Babkha.

In their four-team 2012 qualifying group, the team finished third with seven points.

The team finished third in their five-team 2013 qualification group with nine points.

In 2014's qualifiers, Dura finished fourth in their six-team group with 15 points.

Dura improved during qualifying in 2015, finishing second in their five-team group with 16 points; one point behind Gotzborg.

The 2016 Copa Apollonia qualification rounds saw the team finish fourth in their five-team group, albeit only one point off a play-off spot, with twelve points.

Dura finished second in their four-team 2017 World Cup qualifying group with eight points and advanced to the play-offs, there they were beaten 4–2 on aggregate by Fort Kolgrad.

The team competed in the 2018 Copa Apollonia qualification rounds, where they finished third in their six-team group with 18 points.

In the 2019 World Cup qualifiers, the team finished third in their five-team group with nine points.

In the following year's Copa Apollonia qualifiers, the team finished fifth in their six-team group with six points.

Ahead of the 2021 World Cup qualifiers, in late 2020, the team entered the inaugural edition of the Raspur Pact Nations League and competed in its second tier, finishing bottom of their four-team group with four points to be relegated. In the qualifiers, the team placed third in their five-team group with seven points. Dura's autonomy was decreased later in the year and the national team was integrated into the Shirerithian side.
