History
New Sussex applied successfully to join the FMF after the protectorate was founded between Mercury and Nova England in mid-2018. The team first competed in the 2019 World Cup qualifiers, where they finished fourth in their six-team group with 13 points, missing-out on a play-off place on their head-to-head record with Talenore.
In the following year's EMU qualifiers, the team finished second in their four-team group with eleven points to advance to the play-offs, where they overcame Nova English Korea on penalties to qualify for a first ever finals. At EMU 2020, the team finished third in their group with three points, behind Passas in a semi-final spot on goal difference.
In the 2021 FMF World Cup qualification rounds, the team finished second in their four-team group with twelve points.
In the following year's EMU qualifiers, the team finished third in their five-team group with twelve points, ahead of Sanpantul by virtue of goal difference.
The 2023 FMF World Cup qualification rounds saw the team finish second in their five-team group with 16 points, leading to a place in the play-offs, where they beat Etzeland in the first round but lost to Tiana in the second.
