The Taeland national football team is the football team which represents the Hammish autonomous territory of Taeland. It is a member of the EMUFA.
History
Taeland applied successfully to join the FMF after the territory was founded by Hamland in 2007 as part of the short-lived United Commonwealth. However, the national team's FMF membership was granted too late for them to be involved in the inaugural EMU Championships.
The team competed in their first World Cup qualifiers the following year, where they finished third in a group of six topped by Hamland.
In the following year's qualifiers, the team was again drawn in a group against Hamland, where they finished fourth out of five teams.
The team performed disappointingly in 2010, finishing bottom of their World Cup qualifying group with no wins to their name. Despite the Tae team not qualifying, Haembeer Garden in Tly, Taeland, was used for matches in the 2010 finals, which Hamland hosted.
However, Taeland's fortunes improved the following year, with the team winning a closely-fought group in the qualification rounds to seal a place in both that year's World Cup and EMU Championships. In the former, the team could only draw one match as they finished bottom of their group, but managed a respectable fourth in their six-team EMU group.
In 2012's qualifiers, the team were less successful than the previous year, finishing fourth in their tough five-team group with eleven points.
