The North Antarctica national football team is the football team which represents the micronation of the North Antarctic Peninsular Islands, commonly known as North Antarctica. It is a member of the AEFA, and is run by the NVMFA.
History
The team was founded in late 2011 after North Antarctica's Micrasian claim was successful. Prior to the following year's World Cup qualifying, the team placed second at the first ever Four Nations Internationals, losing to Mercury in the final over two legs. In the qualifiers, the team finished second in their four-team group with eleven points, behind Novatainia and above Babkha on goal difference, to reach the inaugural Copa Apollonia, which North Antarctica won the rights to host later in the year. Soon afterwards, the team competed in the inaugural Zeeburg Tournaments, where they finished fifth on goal difference with ten points, using an experimental side. In August 2012, North Antarctica reached an all-time high, 11th, on the world rankings.
