The Raspur national football team is the football team which currently represents the Constancian autonomous region of Raspur, and previously represented the independent nation of the same name. It is a member of the AEFA, and is run by the EISR.

History

The team was founded in mid-2017 after Raspur's Micrasian claim was successful. The team first competed in the 2018 Copa Apollonia qualification rounds the following year, where they finished fourth in their six-team group with 13 points.

Raspur was annexed by Constancia in early 2019 and maintained its separate FMF membership. In the 2019 World Cup qualifiers soon afterwards, the team finished second in their five-team group with 14 points.

In the following year's Copa Apollonia qualifiers, the team finished second in their six-team group with 21 points, behind Freeland on goal difference, and qualified for their first ever finals. In the finals, the team advanced from their three-team group in second place with one point, above Freeland by virtue of goal difference, before being eliminated after extra time in the quarter-finals by Krasnarus.

Ahead of the 2021 World Cup qualifiers, in late 2020, the team entered the inaugural edition of the Raspur Pact Nations League and competed in its second tier, finishing top of their four-team group after winning every match to be promoted. In the qualifiers, the team placed second in their five-team group with 19 points.

In the following year's Copa Apollonia qualifiers, the team topped their four-team group unbeaten with 14 points and secured their place in the finals. In the Copa Apollonia, they advanced from their group as unexpected winners with six points to reach the semi-finals where they bettered Tiana 2–1 before losing to hosts Senya 2–1 in the final to place an impressive second overall.

The 2023 FMF World Cup qualification rounds saw the team top their six-team group with 25 points and qualify for the finals, where they were eliminated at the first hurdle after placing fourth in Group B with six points, missing-out on advancing on goal difference.

The team competed in the Copa Apollonia qualifiers the following year, where they topped their five-team group unbeaten with 22 points to qualify. At the finals, however, the team were eliminated at the first hurdle after finishing fourth in their five-team group with five points, behind Daau on goal difference.
