The Babkha national football team is the football team which represents the micronation of Babkha. The team is a member of the AEFA, and is run by the All-Babkhan FA.

The team has existed twice in the FMF's history; firstly between mid-2007 and late 2009, and secondly since mid-2010.

History

Babkha joined the FMF in 2007 on its return to Micras after revoking its claims prior to the foundation of the FMF. The team first competed in that year's World Cup qualifiers, finishing second in their group behind Toketi.

In 2009's qualifying, Babkha were less successful, only managing to finish fourth in a five-team group which again Toketi topped. In late 2009, Babkha once again left Micras due to internal political reasons. However, the nation returned in the summer of the following year.

In their first qualifiers since returning, the team lost only once on its way to winning their group and qualifying for their first appearance at the FMF World Cup. In the finals, Babkha got off to a terrible start, with their worst ever loss; 7–2 against Interland, before drawing their remaining two games and finishing last in their group.

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