This article lists all of the captains of the Starblaydia national football team.
To be made the captain of the national team, the one who wears the armband and leads the country on the field, is one of the most honoured achievements any Starblaydi footballer can attain. In Liga Starblaydia, the captain is the only player permitted to speak with the referee without being spoken to first, and often a referee will call the captains over to discuss a disciplinary decision over a bad tackle, fight, etc. In the international scene, however, this rarely happens, and the captain's role is far less tangible. A Starblaydi captain is expected to lead by example, to be a paradigm of Starblaydia's style of play and sportsmanship (see above). They are the players to look for in any desperate situation, as they will be trying the hardest to turn the match in Starblaydia's favour.
The first ever Starblaydia captain was Ryan Garry, who captained the Starblaydia national football team in their first ever match, a 2-1 loss in Vilita for World Cup 15 Qualifying. The Starblaydia Under-21s however, had already participated in Under-21 World Cup 3 a year earlier, making Olaf Vikerman the first Under-21 Captain, and technically the first Starblaydi captain of any international side.
The current captain of Starblaydia is Kili Izretar, and Kwame Jabir is captain of the Under-21s. Izretar was captain in the 20th Atlantian Oceania Cup of Association Football and it is unknown whether manager Betanii Marrones (also, incidentally, Starblaydia's last captain before Starblaydia's international football hiatus) will persuade the forty-one year-old dwarf to continue into the Baptism of Fire for World Cup 38, or whether she will have to choose a new captain for that tournament.
