The Lamantia national football team is the football team which represents the Senyan autonomous region of Lamantia. It is a member of the AEFA, and is run by the FVL. The team is the official successor of Fort Kolgrad, and as such retains its records.

History

The team was founded in mid-2017 after the foundation of Lamantia as the successor state to the Senyan autonomous territory of Fort Kolgrad. Under the name of Fort Kolgrad, the team competed from late 2013, and first played in the 2014 FMF World Cup qualification rounds, finishing fifth in their group, before placing third in their group in the following year's qualifiers.

In the inaugural Copa Apollonia qualifiers, the team advanced to the play-offs and beat Toketi to qualify for the finals, where they subsequently lost their three matches. In World Cup qualifying the following year, the team again reached the play-offs, but were eliminated in the final round on penalties to Jingdao before Lamantia succeeded Fort Kolgrad later in the year.

The team first competed as Lamantia in the 2018 Copa Apollonia qualification rounds, where they topped their six-team group with 21 points to qualify for the finals. At the Copa Apollonia, the team advanced from their four-team group with four points before losing 2–1 after extra time to Stormark and 1–0 to the Florian Republic to place fourth.

Lamantia's good form continued into the 2019 World Cup qualifiers, as they lost just once to top their five-team group with 19 points and reached their first ever FMF World Cup finals. In the finals, the team were less successful as they finished bottom of their five-team group with three points.

After Lamantia successfully bid to host the 2020 Copa Apollonia, therefore qualifying automatically, the team participated in the year's FMF Confederations Cup, where they topped their four-team group on goal difference with eleven points and advanced to the semi-finals. After a loss to Senya, the team beat Batavia in extra time to place third.
