The Talenore national football team is the football team which currently represents the Iteran autonomous territory of Talenore, and previously represented the Craitish and Shirerithian protectorates, and independent nation of the same name. It is a member of the EMUFA, and is run by the TaFA.

History

The team was founded in mid-2014 after Talenore's Micrasian claim was successful. In the following year's qualifiers, the team performed well and topped a tough five-team group with 15 points to reach the World Cup finals at their first attempt. Talenore's fortunes continued into the World Cup, as the team topped their difficult group on goal difference unbeaten with eight points to advance directly to the quarter-finals, where they were beaten 2–1 by Gerenia.

During the 2016 EMU Championships qualification rounds, Talenore was annexed by Craitland and maintained its separate FMF membership. In the qualifiers themselves, Talenore won their four-team group unbeaten with 14 points to qualify for EMU 2016. In the finals, the team advanced from their group with six points, but lost their semi-final 2–0 to Passas and third-place play-off 3–2 to Mercury to place fourth.

In early 2017, during the progress of that year's World Cup qualifiers, Talenore regained independence before becoming a protectorate of Shireroth shortly afterwards. In the qualifiers themselves, the team finished top of their five-team group with 17 points to advance to a second successive World Cup finals. However, the team finished bottom of their World Cup group after losing all four of their matches.

Talenore once again became independent during the qualifying rounds for EMU 2018 before being annexed by Iteru soon afterwards.
