The Mercury national women's football team is the women's football team which represents the micronation of Mercury. It is run by the Mercury FA.
History
The Mercury national women's team was founded in 2015 with the creation of the FMFF World Championships. The team competed in the inaugural edition, qualifying automatically. Having finished top of their group, Mercury beat Lucerne 5–0 in their quarter-final, before being eliminated on penalties by eventual winners Gerenia and beating Birgeshir 2–1 to finish in third place.
Mercury took part in qualification for the following year's edition, winning all four games to top their group and advance to the finals. The team again finished top of their group, winning all three games to advance to the quarter-finals, where they defeated Hamland 1–0 after extra time. In the semi-finals, Mercury again fell to Gerenia, losing out 1–0 before claiming a second successive third-place finish, after defeating Senya 1–0.
The competition then took a one-year hiatus, returning in 2018 in the form of the Micras Games. Mercury again topped their qualification group, winning five games out of six. In the finals, Mercury topped their group with two wins and a draw to advance to the semi-finals, where for the third time in a row, they were eliminated by Gerenia, losing 2–1, before winning the bronze medal, this time beating the Florian Republic 1–0.
Mercury hosted the 2020 edition, and as such, qualified automatically. The team once again topped their group, winning both games, then beating Lamantia, before eventually losing to Senya 1–0 in the semi-finals and 2–1 to Floria in the bronze medal game.
The team once again topped their qualifying group in 2022, advancing to their fifth World Championships. In the group stage, the team failed to top the group for the first time in their history, however still advanced to the quarter-finals as runners-up, beating Craitland 4–1 and hosts Thracistan 2–1 on their way to their first final, with a 3–1 defeat to Senya seeing the team lose out on a first title, but still securing a best-ever finish in a World Championships.
