The New Sussex national football team is the football team which currently represents the Mercurian autonomous region of New Sussex, and previously represented the joint-Mercurian-Nova English protectorate of the same name. It is a member of the EMUFA.
History
New Sussex applied successfully to join the FMF after the protectorate was founded between Mercury and Nova England in mid-2018. The team first competed in the 2019 World Cup qualifiers, where they finished fourth in their six-team group with 13 points, missing-out on a play-off place on their head-to-head record with Talenore.
In the following year's EMU qualifiers, the team finished second in their four-team group with eleven points to advance to the play-offs, where they overcame Nova English Korea on penalties to qualify for a first ever finals. At EMU 2020, the team finished third in their group with three points, behind Passas in a semi-final spot on goal difference.
In the 2021 FMF World Cup qualification rounds, the team finished second in their four-team group with twelve points. Later in the year, Mercury gained full sovereignty over New Sussex.
In the following year's EMU qualifiers, the team finished third in their five-team group with twelve points, ahead of Sanpantul by virtue of goal difference.
The 2023 FMF World Cup qualification rounds saw the team finish second in their five-team group with 16 points, leading to a place in the play-offs, where they beat Etzeland in the first round but lost to Tiana in the second.
The team competed in the EMU 2024 qualifiers the following year, where they placed second in their six-team group with 21 points, ahead of Castilona by virtue of goals scored, to reach the play-offs. There they were defeated by The Hexarchy 2–1 on aggregate.
