The Whales national football team was the football team which most recently represented the Natopian autonomous territory of Whales, and previously represented the Western Natopian autonomous territory of the same name. It was a member of the CTFA, and was run by the Whelsh Division. The team was the official successor of Kujirashi-Wahlstadt, Walstadt, Kujirashi-Walstadt, Walstadt-Light, Greater Walstadt and the Two Martyrs, and is also the official predecessor of Walstadt-Light.

History

The team was founded in 2020 after Whales was founded as the successor state to the Natopian autonomous territory of the Two Martyrs, itself the successor of Greater Walstadt, Kujirashi-Walstadt and Walstadt. After first competing under the name of Walstadt in 2014's qualifiers, finishing bottom of their group, the team placed fourth in their 2015 qualifying group as the renamed Kujirashi-Walstadt. After being renamed to Greater Walstadt, a fourth-placed group finish in 2016's CiboTap qualifiers was followed by the team finishing bottom of their group in the subsequent year.

As the Two Martyrs, the team finished bottom of both their groups for CiboTap 2018 qualifying and 2019 World Cup qualifying, with the latter placement leading to a spot in the 2019 Emerging Nations Cup, where they finished third. The next year's CiboTap qualifiers saw another bottom-placed performance that led to a second Emerging Nations Cup appearance, with the team ultimately winning the trophy prior to being renamed once again to Whales.

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 bottom tier, finishing third in their four-team group with six points. In the qualifiers, the team placed fifth in their six-team group with seven points.

In the following year's CiboTap qualifiers, the team finished bottom of their five-team group with a sole point to their name, which led to an invite to the 2022 Emerging Nations Cup. In the Emerging Nations Cup, they won their quarter-final before beating hosts Forajasaki 3–1 in the semi-finals and then the Ecclesiastical Mountain Republic 2–0 in the final to secure their second trophy. Soon afterwards, Whales became a territory of Western Natopia following Natopia's split.

Whales 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 fourth in their six-team group with 13 points.

The team competed in the CiboTap 2024 qualifiers the following year, where they placed bottom of their six-team group despite gaining nine points.

In 2025's World Cup qualifiers, the team finished fourth in their six-team group after gaining 14 points. Later in the year, Whales was annexed by Aemilia and was succeeded by Walstadt-Light, with the team being succeeded by Walstadt-Light's.
