The North Antarctica national football team is the football team which represents the micronation of the North Antarctica. It is a member of the AEFA, and is run by the NVMFA.
History
The team was founded in late 2011 after North Antarctica's Micrasian claim was successful. Prior to the following year's World Cup qualifying, the team placed second at the first ever Four Nations Internationals, losing to Mercury in the final over two legs. In the qualifiers, the team finished second in their four-team group with eleven points, behind Novatainia and above Babkha on goal difference, to reach the inaugural Copa Apollonia, which North Antarctica won the rights to host. Soon afterwards, the team competed in the inaugural Zeeburg Tournaments, where they finished fifth on goal difference with ten points, using an experimental side. Later in the year, the team competed in the Copa Apollonia, advancing from their group before losing to Mahoz HaSephardim in the semi-final and being beaten by Hurmu in extra time in the third-place play-off. The world rankings in September showcased the confederation tournament finishes, as North Antarctica were moved down a spot to number twelve in the world, and fourth in their confederation. A few months later, after a few friendlies, the Napians were moved down to fifteenth in Micras and fifth in their confederation before qualifying.
