The Arboria national football team is the football team which currently represents the Natopian autonomous territory of Arboria, and previously represented the Western Natopian autonomous territory of the same name. It is a member of the AEFA, and is run by the Arborian Division.

History

The team was founded in mid-2015 after Arboria, which had existed on Micras since 2014, applied successfully for FMF membership. In the following year's qualifiers, the team finished fourth in their five-team group with six points.

In late 2016, Arboria co-founded the Treesian Memorial Cup and competed in the inaugural edition prior to the 2017 World Cup qualifiers, finishing bottom of the group. In the qualifiers themselves, Arboria finished third in their four-team group with eight points; one point below Fort Kolgrad in the play-off place.

The team competed in the 2018 Copa Apollonia qualification rounds, where they improved and finished second in their six-team group with 21 points, and advanced to the play-offs where they were beaten 6–1 on aggregate by the Florian Republic.

Arboria competed in the 2019 Treesian Memorial Cup ahead of the year's qualifiers, finishing second despite failing to score. In the qualifiers soon afterwards, the team finished third in their five-team group with twelve points.

In the following year's Copa Apollonia qualifiers, the team finished third in their six-team group with 16 points, missing-out on a place in the finals by the narrow margin of goals scored. Later in the year, the team competed in the Senyan Anniversary Cup, finishing fourth out of four on goal difference.

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 third in their four-team group with seven points. In the qualifiers, the team placed third in their five-team group with twelve points. Arboria then competed in the 2021 Treesian Memorial Cup, losing both of their matches without scoring to finish third.

In the following year's Copa Apollonia qualifiers, the team finished third in their five-team group with 16 points, behind the River Warriors on goal difference. Soon afterwards, Arboria became a territory of Western Natopia following Natopia's split.

Arboria again became a Natopian territory after the nation reunified in early 2023 during the team's World Cup qualifying campaign. Those qualification rounds saw the team finish third in their six-team group with 16 points.

The team competed in the Copa Apollonia qualifiers the following year, where they placed second in their five-team group with 19 points, below Hurmu on goal difference, to qualify for a first ever tournament. At the finals, however, the team were eliminated at the first hurdle after finishing bottom of their five-team group having lost all four matches.
