The Eternia national football team is the football team which currently represents the Imperial Federation constituent nation of Eternia, and previously represented the independent nation of the same name. It is a member of the CTFA.
History
The team was founded in 2023 after Eternia's Micrasian claim was successful. The team first competed in the CiboTap 2024 qualifiers the following year, where they placed bottom of their five-team group after losing all of their matches. This form led to a place at the 2024 Emerging Nations Cup, which Eternia would host, but the team were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Lusa. Shortly afterwards, Eternia was annexed by the Imperial Federation, becoming a constituent nation, and retained its separate FMF membership.
Chronological competitive participation
- 2024 CiboTap Championships qualification
- 2024 Emerging Nations Cup (hosts)
- 2025 FMF World Cup qualification
Players
The team is infamous for its insistent practices of only picking its "most experienced players" participating in the nation's various football clubs, resulting in a geriatric lineup that consistently loses its matches on the world stage. Attrition from the team is extremely high, and losses on the field due to health complications from the exertions of playing international sports on the players are a near-constant occurrence. As such, it also has by far one of the largest pools of reserve players in the entire FMF. While attempts have been made to change this practice, it has thus far successfully been resisted by traditionalists who insist that "the sport is sacred, and participation is an honor that goes beyond a need for a cheap win".
Largely because of these factors, the team consistently ranks near the bottom of the FMF rankings.
