The Riponia national football team was the football team which represented the micronation of Riponia. The team was a founding member of both the FMF and EMUFA, and was run by the RFA.
History
Riponia 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, finishing second in their group behind eventual champions Beaugium on goal difference and reaching the quarter-finals, where they lost 2–1 to Gaia.
The following year, the team competed in the inaugural World Cup qualifiers, where they finished second in their group to advance to the play-off group, beating Col and drawing with Passas to qualify. In the finals, the team topped their group with seven points but were again beaten by Gaia in the quarter-finals, this time on penalties after drawing 1–1. Near the end of the year, the team also competed in the inaugural EMU Championships, winning their group without dropping any points. The team continued their success throughout the knock-out stages with wins over Taesong and Craitland, both thanks to penalty shoot-outs, before losing 2–1 to Passas in the final. Riponia left Micras in mid-2008.
