The Zandarijn national football team is the football team which represents the Craitish autonomous territory of Zandarijn. It is a member of the CTFA, after originally being affiliated with the WMFA, and is run by the KZVB.

History

Zandarijn applied successfully to join the FMF after the territory was founded by Craitland in 2007. However, the national team's FMF membership was granted too late for the team to be involved in the inaugural CiboTap Championships. Because of this, Zandarijn was granted WMFA membership and the team entered the confederation's qualifiers, where they were beaten 8–2 on aggregate by FMF World Cup holders Beaugium.

The following year, the team competed in the CTFA's World Cup qualifiers, where they finished second in their group behind Kavalos, before being beaten by Alexandria in the play-offs.

In 2009, the team again finished second in its qualifying group. However, as Alexandria were already assured of a place in the finals as hosts, the Zandts were the highest-placed CTFA qualifiers. In coming second in the group, the team also advanced to that year's CiboTap final, where they beat Alexandria on penalties for their first ever title. The team's fortunes lessened later in the year, and they only managed one point in three games at the World Cup.

The 2010 qualifiers saw further disappointment as the team could only finish third in a four-team group with seven points.

The team finished third in the CTFA's sole six-team group for the 2011 World Cup qualifying; one place below automatic qualifiers Natopia by one goal's difference. In finishing third, the team advanced to the interconfederational play-off against Ashkenatza, who qualified instead of Zandarijn by virtue of the away goals rule after a 2–2 aggregate scoreline.

In the 2012 qualifiers, the team finished second in their four-team group with eleven points. In doing so, they advanced to the CiboTap 2012 semi-finals, losing 2–1 after extra time to eventual champions Natopia, and finishing third for the second year running.

After successfully bidding to co-host the 2013 FMF World Cup with Hammish Monovia, the Zandt team still participated in the year's qualifiers for CiboTap 2013. In their six-team group, the team finished top with 23 points, advancing to the CiboTap semi-finals. After overcoming Natopia, the team lost 3–1 to Alexandria in the final.
