The Toketi national football team is the football team which currently represents the Gralan constituent nation of Toketi, and previously represented the independent kingdom of the same name. The team is the official successor of Tokidoki, which was a founding member of the FMF, and as such retains its records. It is a member of the AEFA and is run by TIFSoF.

The team is generally seen as one of the strongest national sides on Micras, being one of three nations' teams to have appeared in every edition of the FMF World Cup finals to date, alongside Craitland and Alexandria, reaching the final in 2007 as Tokidoki.

History

The Tokian national team was created upon the foundation of Toketi in late 2007 as the successor state of the Gralan constituent nation of Tokidoki, itself previously an independent kingdom. Under the name of Tokidoki, the team was one of the founding members of the FMF when the organisation was created in October 2006 prior to the first FMF World Cup. The national team competed in the tournament, where they finished bottom of their three-team group with one point.

Tokidoki successfully bid to host the 2007 FMF World Cup alongside neighbours Novatainia. The team topped their group by virtue of goals scored ahead of Craitland thanks to a 7–5 win over Taesong. A convincing 3–1 win against Hurmu in the quarter-finals was followed by an impressive 4–0 victory over the previous year's runners-up Gaia, before the team lost to fellow group members Craitland in a tightly-fought final. Later in the year, Tokidoki joined Novatainia and Passas to form Gralus, with each constituent nation retaining its separate FMF membership, before being succeeded by Toketi a matter of months later.

In their first qualifiers, and first appearance as Toketi, the team topped their group without losing a game before a less successful finals campaign in which they finished bottom of their group with only a draw to their name.

The team were again convincing in qualifying the following year, again winning their group unbeaten. In their finals group, the team advanced in second place, finishing behind Nova England on goal difference, before losing 4–2 to Alexandria in the quarter-finals.

The following year's qualification was even more successful than previous years for the team, as they won all eight of their matches to qualify. The team's good form continued into the finals, topping their group with six points and beating Stormark in the quarter-finals. However, in the semi-finals, the team was well beaten by eventual champions Craitland, but saved some face by beating Monovia in the third-place play-off to finish third.

Another unbeaten qualifying campaign in 2011 saw Toketi secure a place in their sixth consecutive finals appearance. However, the team could not continue their success in the finals, finishing third in their group with two points.

The team is currently competing in the 2012 FMF World Cup qualification rounds.
