TheWallis and Futuna national football team (French:Équipe de Wallis-et-Futuna de football) is the national football team ofWallis and Futuna. Wallis and Futuna is not a member ofFIFA and, therefore, is not eligible to enter either theFIFA World Cup or theOFC Nations Cup, and due to the low investment in sport on the part of the country, it has been many years since it played an international match.
Wallis and Futuna has played twenty-four international matches, all at theSouth Pacific Games between 1966 and 1995, and holds an overall record of five wins and nineteen defeats.[2]
In 1966, there was an initiative for the small country to play in theSouth Pacific Games that year. The proposal was carried out and Wallis and Futuna entered the group stage, losing 5–0 toTahiti and 9–1 toPapua New Guinea.
They achieved their best results at the1979 South Pacific Games, qualifying to the knock-out stages with a 3–1 victory overWestern Samoa after losing toSolomon Islands 6–0. They lost their quarter-final match againstFiji 5–0 which qualified them for the Consolation Tournament, where they were eliminated byTonga 1–0. At the1983 South Pacific Games, they lost their first group match 3–0 againstAmerican Samoa but a 2–1 victory overWestern Samoa and a 3–0 win againstTonga meant that they topped their group. In the quarter-finals they lost 4–0 toNew Caledonia, eliminating them from the competition.
The1987 South Pacific Games was played as a round-robin, resulting in four defeats for Wallis and Futuna, with their only victory coming againstAmerican Samoa 5–1. At the1991 South Pacific Games they lost in each of their group stage matches and were defeated byTahiti in the Consolation Tournament, qualifying them for the seventh-place playoff where they beatGuam 5–0.
The last time Wallis and Futuna played a game was in 1995. Inthis edition, the team lost all 4 games it played. Since then it has been completely inactive.
