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.

Gerenia's success continued into the 2015 qualifiers, where they lost only once on their way to topping their five-team group with 21 points to reach the finals. In the World Cup, the team finished second in their group unbeaten with six points and advanced to the play-off round, where they beat North Antarctica 1–0. The team then beat Talenore 2–1 in the quarter-finals before losing their semi-final to Tellia and then being beaten by Passas to end-up in fourth place.

In 2016, as holders of the Copa Apollonia, Gerenia qualified automatically for the year's tournament and instead competed in the inaugural FMF Confederations Cup, where they advanced from their group with eight points before beating both Hamland and Mercury in extra time to win the title. In the Copa Apollonia, the team topped their group with three wins to advance to the semi-finals, but were beaten 3–1 by Senya and then 2–1 by Gotzborg to place fourth.

Chronological competitive participation

Kit

Gerenia's home kits have blue shirts with white vertical lines, blue shorts and blue or white socks. Their away kits have red shirts, and white shorts and socks. In the 2012 Senyan School International Tournament, the away kit consisted of white shirts and socks, and blue shorts. The SZG's logo is worn on the left side of the shirt, where the human heart can be found. Local company Aeroton is the main designer of the Gerenian kits.
