User:Nfitz/nauru national soccer team

The Nauru national soccer team is an international team from the Republic of Nauru. However it is not a member of the OFC or FIFA, and is therefore not eligible to enter either the World Cup or OFC Nations Cup.

History
The national team is the most important organ of the Nauru Amateur Soccer Association which was formed in 1973 and since then has been inconspicuous outside of the country. The federation is as yet unrecognized by either FIFA or the OFC as an official national soccer federation. There are no soccer stadiums in Nauru; though there was an incomplete sports stadium in Meneng.

On 2 October 1994 the Nauruan national soccer team played an unofficial friendly match in Denigomodu against selection of Solomon Islanders working on Nauru at the time. Nauru won the match 2–1 against them.
