History
Sel Appa began their quest for international footballing dominance in World Cup 30 - without participating in a Baptism of Fire - and qualified for their first World Cup at World Cup 33. Since then, they have qualified for every World Cup, twice entering the Round of 16.
World Cups 30 to 32
Sel Appa's first three Cup runs were met with little success. The team lost more matches than it won. However, they were able to forge a record that put them on the rankings and slowly improved to enable a qualification. A very controversial match against Qutar led to Sel Appa's inability to qualify for World Cup 32, despite being very close. The opportunity came in the next Cup, when the Turtles qualified for the first time.
World Cup 33 to 36
Sel Appa first qualified for World Cup 33, placing second in the Group Stage group and losing to Demot in the Round of 16. Although the team qualified for Cups 34 and 35, it did not pass through the group stage again until World Cup 36. This Cup saw Sel Appa through second in their group, but lost again in the Round of 16 to Schiavonia.
World Cup 37
World Cup 37 marked a large change for the team with the retirement of FFSA President Henri LePoivre and 18 of the 20 players. Only Colin Patette, Miqeulinho, and Arthur Mercator V stayed on with Coach Charles DuPont to maintain a constant for the incoming players. The election of Sharon Eiboln as FFSA President opened the team up to female players; five signed on. The new team went all the way to the Semifinals and then defeated by Az-cz, but they were able to win over Zwangzug and take 3rd place, earning much prestige and honor in international football.
Home Stadium
Sel Appa's National Stadium is Turtle Stadium, also known as Grand Nemnenait Stadium. Turtle Stadium is the home of the Nemnen Turtles and is the largest stadium in Sel Appa. It's capacity is 128,000 for football matches and can be expanded for concerts or other events.
