The Alrig national football team is the football team which represents the nation of Alrig, currently politically divided between a Shirerithian autonomous region and Aemilian territory, and previously represented the Shirerithian and Kildarian protectorates, Great Apollonian and Jingdaoese autonomous regions, and independent nation of the same name. It is a member of the AEFA, and is run by the ERAS. The team is the official successor of the Old Oil Rig, and as such retains its records.

History

The team was founded in mid-2018 after the foundation of Alrig as the successor state to the Old Oil Rig. The team first competed in the 2019 World Cup qualifiers, where they finished bottom of their five-team group with one point to their name.

In the following year's Copa Apollonia qualifiers, the team improved and finished third in their six-team group with 15 points. Alrig was annexed by Jingdao later in the year.

In the 2021 FMF World Cup qualification rounds, the team finished third in their five-team group with eleven points. Later in the year, Alrig became an autonomous region of Great Apollonia, after Jingdao joined with Çakaristan, and retained its separate FMF membership.

In early 2022, prior to the start of the year's Copa Apollonia qualifiers, Alrig became a protectorate of the newly-independent Kildare. In the qualifiers themselves, the team finished second in their five-team group with 15 points. Shortly afterwards, Alrig became a protectorate of Shireroth following its annexation of Kildare.

The 2023 FMF World Cup qualification rounds saw the team finish second in their six-team group with 17 points.

The team competed in the Copa Apollonia qualifiers the following year, where they placed third in their five-team group with eleven points. Later in the year, following the peaceful Partition of Alrig, Alrig split into two political entities under control of Shireroth and Aemilia but maintained a unified team.

Chronological competitive participation

In light of the Partition of Alrig, after careful negotiations with both federal governments, the national football organisation decided that it would relocate its headquarters to Sint Anna and would become an Aemilian-led organisation. It promised to keep traditions from the long history together with Kildare and Jingdao, such as singing hymns to the Heavenly Light before each match.
