The Meckelnburgh national football team (Alexandrian: Équipe du Meckelmbourg de football; Aspiranto: Nacia Futbalo-Teamo de Mekelnburgo) is the association football team which represents the micronation of Meckelnburgh. It is a member of the AEFA, and is run by the Royal Meckelnburgh Soccer Federation.
The team has made the finals in every international tournament attempted, achieving fourth place overall in its début at the 2021 FMF World Cup.
History
The team was founded in mid-2020 after Meckelnburgh's Micrasian claim was successful. They first competed in the 2021 FMF World Cup qualification rounds, performing well to finish top of their five-team group with 21 points and qualify for the finals at the first time of asking. In the finals, the team advanced from their group in third place with five points before overcoming Sanama 2–1 in the play-off round in a surprise victory. The team caused a further upset in the quarter-finals by beating previous champions Mercury 2–1 before losing narrowly to Craitland in the semi-finals and then 4–1 to Senya to place fourth overall on their tournament début.
In the following year's Copa Apollonia qualifiers, the team topped their five-team group unbeaten with twenty points and secured their place in the finals, where they were eliminated in the group stage after finishing bottom of their group with three points.
The 2023 FMF World Cup qualification rounds saw the team top their five-team group with 17 points and qualify for the finals, where they advanced from Group A in third place with four points. However, they lost 1–0 to Nouvelle Alexandrie in the play-off round.
The team competed in the Copa Apollonia qualifiers the following year, where they topped their five-team group with 24 points after winning all of their matches to qualify. At the finals, the team advanced to the knock-out stages after finishing second in their five-team group with eight points, behind Vegno on goal difference, before beating Hurmu 2–0 in the play-off round. After losing 2–0 to Floria in the semis, they were bested by hosts Vegno to secure fourth place in the tournament.
