The Athlon national football team is the football team which currently represents the Natopian autonomous territory of Athlon, and previously represented the Gralan protectorate of the same name. The team is a member of the AEFA.

The team has existed twice in the FMF's history; firstly between late 2007 and mid-2008 as a protectorate of Gralus, and secondly since 2010 in its current form.

History

Athlon applied successfully to join the FMF after becoming a protectorate of Gralus in late 2007 after seceding from Natopia. The team competed in the qualifiers for the 2008 FMF World Cup, where they finished third in their group with nine points.

After Athlon rejoined Natopia in early 2008, the national team was integrated into the Natopian side following that year's qualifiers. However, due to increased autonomy granted in 2010, the Athlonian team gained FMF membership for the second time. Following this, the team competed in the 2011 World Cup qualifiers, again finishing their group in third place.

The team improved in the following year's qualifying, finishing second in their five-team group with 14 points, ahead of débutants Freedomia on goal difference. In doing so, the team sealed their place in the first ever Copa Apollonia.
