The Unified Governorates national football team is the football team which represents the micronation of the Unified Governorates. It is a member of the WMFA, and is run by the UGB Bureau of Sports.

History

The team was founded in mid-2019 after the Unified Governorates successfully claimed on Micras after seceding from Shireroth. Soon afterwards, the team competed in the inaugural Vulture Cup, finishing second in their group with four points before losing to Sanama and surprisingly beating Tellia, both on penalties, to place third.

In the following year's Benacia Cup qualifiers, the team finished second in their four-team group with ten points, ahead of Francia by virtue of goals scored, and advanced to the play-offs, where they beat Kalgachia to qualify for a first ever finals. In the finals, the team finished third in their group with four points.

Ahead of the 2021 World Cup qualifiers, in late 2020, the team entered the inaugural edition of the Raspur Pact Nations League and competed in its second tier, finishing second in their four-team group with eight points. In the qualifiers, the team placed second in their five-team group with 21 points, behind Tellia in the automatic qualifying spot on goal difference, and advanced to the interconfederational play-off, where they overcame Natopia on penalties after a 1–1 aggregate draw to qualify for a first World Cup finals.

Chronological competitive participation

Badge and kit

The team's primary home colours are black and yellow, while the coat of arms of the Lywall Protectorate is used as its badge.

Current squad

This squad was established as the 1st Sporting (Association Football) Detachment attached to the UGB Bureau of Sports of Benacia Command on 06/06/2019. The starting lineup uses the 2-4-4 formation and strongly favours attacking via aggressive direct plays. Indeed the culture of aggression fostered in domestic UGB competitions, such as the Benacian National League, where players have been noted to expend as much energy trying to vigorously kick their opponents as they do the ball, has had an influence upon the team and its playing style at the international level.
