TheManchukuo national football team (Chinese:滿洲國國家足球隊;pinyin:Mǎnzhōuguó Guójiā Zúqiú Duì) was an international football team fromManchukuo and Japanese-occupied easternInner Mongolia, created by formerQing Dynasty officials with help fromImperial Japan in 1932. Due to the Non-Recognition Policy of the United States and other countries towards Manchukuo, the team was not permitted to joinFIFA, and was therefore not eligible to enter theWorld Cup.Manchuria played three international matches all against Japan during the late 1930s, losing each one of them, conceding 16 goals and scoring no goals.
The first two matches were held in September 1939 as part of the "Championship Games of Amity with Japan, Manchukuo, and China" ( Nichi-Man-Ka Kokan Kyogikai ), a Japanese-organized successor to theFar Eastern Championship Games which had fallen into dysfunction with the outbreak of theSecond Sino-Japanese War. The third match took place at theEast Asian Games (Toa Taikai), which were held to both celebratethe 2600th Anniversary of the Japanese Empire, but also to celebrate the start of theGreater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
