The Hamland national football team is the football team which represents the micronation of Hamland. It is a member of the EMUFA and is run by the HFA.
The team is seen as one of the strongest national sides on Micras, having qualified for every FMF World Cup it has entered, winning it in 2013, and also winning the 2012 EMU Championships.
History
The team was founded in mid-2007 after Hamland's Micrasian claim was successful. Later in the year, Hamland competed in the first EMU Championships, where they finished fourth in their seven-team group with nine points.
The team competed in its first World Cup qualifiers the following year, where they convincingly topped their six-team group after winning all ten of their matches. In the finals, the team advanced from their group despite losing their opening game 4–1 to Bobalania before losing to eventual winners Craitland 3–0 in the quarter-finals.
In 2009's qualifiers, the team finished second in their group to Interland by a point after losing only one game. In doing so, the team advanced to the play-offs, where they met Hammish territory Ségon, who they beat 2–0 on aggregate to secure qualification. The team were less successful in the 2009 FMF World Cup, however, as they finished third in their group with three draws to their name.
Hamland successfully bid to host the 2010 FMF World Cup, meaning that the team was exempt from competing in the tournament's qualifying rounds. The team advanced from their finals group with four points, before beating Batavia 5–3 in the quarter-finals. After a convincing win over Monovia in the semis, the team lost to Craitland in a tightly-contested final in New Kirriemuir.
The 2011 World Cup qualifiers saw the team win their group with relative ease, losing only one match after qualification had already been secured. The team also advanced to compete in the year's EMU Championships, where they won their group but were comfortably beaten by Craitland in the finals. The team's World Cup finals campaign was less successful. Despite advancing from a tough group with five points and beating neighbours Passas 4–2 in the quarter-finals, they were again beaten narrowly by eventual winners Craitland before sealing third place against Interland with a 2–1 victory.
The team again had another successful qualifying campaign in 2012, winning their group with 19 points and qualifying for the finals and EMU 2012. In the World Cup, the team dominated their group, finishing top with three wins, before beating Batavia 2–1 in extra time in the quarter-finals. After losing 1–0 to eventual champions Tellia in the semi-finals, the team beat hosts Antica a convincing 5–0 in the third-place play-off. In EMU 2012, the team's success continued, topping their group on goal difference and beating Craitland in the semi-final before winning the final on penalties against hosts Mercury.
In 2013's qualifying rounds, the team narrowly topped their group with 13 points, qualifying for the World Cup on goal difference and EMU 2013 as holders. Following qualifying, the team competed in the first Nations' Cup, which they won unbeaten with seven points. In EMU 2013, the team topped their group with six points, before heavily beating Nova English Korea in the semi-finals, but lost the final 1–0 to hosts Interland. In the World Cup, the team topped their group comfortably with nine points and no goals conceded, before seeing-off co-hosts Zandarijn 2–0 in the quarter-finals. Following a victory over Alexandria in the semi-finals, Hamland beat Mercury 1–0 in the final to secure their first ever World Cup title.
