The New Batavia national football team is the football team which represents the micronation of New Batavia. It is a member of the CTFA, and is run by the VBNB. The team is the official successor of the Netherlands and the Islamic Internet Republic, and as such retains their records.
History
The team was founded in late 2020 after the foundation of New Batavia as the successor state to the Islamic Internet Republic, itself the successor of the Netherlands, shortly after its return to Micras. The team previously competed in the 2010 and 2011 qualifying rounds as the Netherlands and the Islamic Internet Republic, respectively, but finished bottom of their group on both occasions.
The team first competed as New Batavia in the 2021 FMF World Cup qualification rounds, finishing third in their six-team group with 15 points.
In the following year's CiboTap qualifiers, the team finished top of their five-team group unbeaten with 22 points and qualified for a first ever finals tournament. At CiboTap, they were eliminated in the group stage after finishing third in their group with four points, narrowly missing-out on a place in the semi-finals on goals scored.
The 2023 FMF World Cup qualification rounds saw the team top their six-team group with 22 points and qualify for the finals, where they were eliminated at the first hurdle after placing bottom of Group B without gaining a point after losing all four matches.
After bidding successfully to host the 2024 CiboTap Championships, the team bypassed the qualifying rounds and also received an automatic berth in the year's FMF Confederations Cup, where they finished third in the hosts' group with five points. In the CiboTap finals, they fared better, topping their four-team group with a maximum nine points before narrowly being eliminated in the semi-finals on penalties to Natopia. A subsequent 3–1 victory over Kurum Ash-Sharqia meant the team finished third overall.
