The Gerenia national football team is the football team which represents the micronation of Gerenia. It is a member of the AEFA, and is run by the SZG.

The team has existed twice in the FMF's history; firstly between mid-2012 and 2013, and secondly since late 2013.

History

The team was founded in mid-2012 after Gerenia's Micrasian claim was successful. Later in the year, the team competed in the inaugural Senyan School International Tournament, where they finished second with eleven points, one point behind Zeeburg.

In early 2013, the team competed in the second edition of the Four Nations Internationals, finishing in third place with five points. Gerenia's success continued into the year's World Cup qualifying, where they finished an unbeaten second in their group behind Hurmu by a point to reach the 2013 Copa Apollonia. In the finals, the team drew all three of their group games to advance on goals scored, but lost their semi-final and third-place play-off to eventual champions Hurmu and hosts Senya, respectively, to finish fourth. Gerenia left Micras in late 2013, but returned shortly afterwards.

In their first qualifying campaign since returning to Micras, Gerenia topped their group unbeaten with 22 points to reach the 2014 FMF World Cup finals. The team also qualified for the 2014 Copa Apollonia, which Gerenia successfully bid to host, where they topped their group without losing a match, beat Senya on penalties in the semi-finals, and were victorious over North Antarctica in the final to claim their first ever trophy. In the World Cup, the team were less fortunate as they finished third in a tough group with four points, one point behind eventual runners-up Hamland, and failed to advance.
