The Krasnovlac national football team (Krasnovian: Krasnovlac fudtboltim) was the football team which represented the micronation of Krasnovlac. It was a member of the AEFA, and was run by the Krasnovlac Football Association.

History

The team was founded in early 2022 after Krasnovlac's Micrasian claim was successful. The team's first participation was in the friendly tri-series tournament, against fellow FMF newcomers Vegno and Pacary, in which the team placed second on tiebreaking criteria as hosts. Later in the year, the team was invited to participate in the Daau Opening Tri-Nations Series, where they placed second after drawing against both Phinbella and hosts Daau.

The 2023 FMF World Cup qualification rounds, Krasnovlac's first competitive foray, saw the team finish second in their six-team group with 21 points and narrowly miss-out on advancing to the play-offs. Shortly afterwards, they competed in the inaugural SEEFF Championship, placing second in the four-team knock-out tournament.

The team competed in the Copa Apollonia qualifiers the following year, where they placed third in their five-team group with ten points. Krasnovlac left Micras shortly afterwards.

Chronological competitive participation

Crest

The crest of the national team remained unchanged from the foundation of the nation's football association: a green star with red and brown borders to represent the national colours and the pattern of a football in the middle with the name of the Krasnovlac Football Association in front. The back of the team's jerseys' collars always featured the nation's coat of arms.

Colours

Krasnovlac's traditional colours were green and red with a star motif. The style of the home kit was often the same with a green jersey, and red shorts and socks, though this was changed a few times where the national team had been known to play in a full green kit. The away colours were inconsistent compared to the home colours but the most used colour choice was a dark navy jersey coupled with a white diagonal stripe and white shorts. The national team partnered up with local sportswear manufacturer, Pazuwai, for its kits and used the same printing typeface throughout to showcase the country's history and legacy.

Stadium

The national team always played their games in Belaov Sky Park, located in Belaov, following its establishment. Originally designed solely for the national team, the stadium also became home to Krasnovlac Elite League team Belaov Treble. The stadium featured a 15,000 seating capacity with a concourse including a sky view and small shops with food and merchandise. There were plans to renovate the stadium to increase the seating capacity and facilities, and temporarily moving national team matches to the nearby Itricit Local Range.
