IselandeThe Iselande national football team (Alexandrian: Équipe du Islande de football; Aspiranto: Nacia Futbalo-Teamo de Glacilando) is the association football team which represents the Meckelnish autonomous territory of Iselande. It is a member of the AEFA, and is run by the East Meckelnburgh Soccer Association.
The team is the official successor of Jääland and as such retains its records.
History
The team was founded in mid-2022 after the foundation of the Meckelnish territory of Iselande as the successor state to Jääland following annexation. Under the name of Jääland, the team was one of Micras' weakest, finishing with one of the worst records in each of the qualifying campaigns in which they competed. After losing all of their ten 2020 Copa Apollonia qualification round matches, leading to a first Emerging Nations Cup appearance in which they placed third, the team also entered the friendly 2020 Noka Cup and were again beaten in every match.
Jääland at least gained a sole point in their 2021 World Cup qualifying group but again played in the Emerging Nations Cup, where they were this time victorious after three knock-out wins over fellow lowly-ranked national sides. An identical sole-point Copa Apollonia qualifying group finish in 2022 granted a third appearance in the Emerging Nations Cup, which ended in quarter-final defeat prior to the annexation by Meckelnburgh and establishment of Iselande.
The 2023 FMF World Cup qualification rounds, their first under the name of Iselande, saw the team finish bottom of their six-team group with six points, behind Port Balaine on goal difference.
The team competed in the Copa Apollonia qualifiers the following year, where they placed bottom of their five-team group after gaining a sole point.
