The Starblaydia national football team represents Starblaydia in international football competitions such as the World Cup and the Atlantian Oceania Championships. It is controlled by the Starblaydi Football Association (SFA), the governing body for football in the nation.

Starblaydia are one of the many Atlantian Oceania nations who have won the World Cup, winning both World Cups 25 and 28. This sits them equal with nations of the pst such as Brazillico and Eauz, behing only Bedistan and Rejistania in the all-time Cup-Winners list. Regional rivals Crystilakere, Vilita, Bedistan and Sarzonia had all won the World Cup before Starblaydia, giving them an edge over the white-and-purples, who were perhaps the strongest of the AO nations not on that list until that heady night in Kaza.

Starblaydia have also won the Atlantian Oceania Cup of Association Football - the premier regional football tournament in the world - five times, a record tally. Formerly 'stuck' on four titles alongside the great NEWI Cefn Druids teams of the past, who hold four AOCAF trophies in their cabinet far, far away, Starblaydia took the record by beating age-old enemies Lamoni in the AOCAF 14 Final. This also made Starblaydia only the second team to do the much-vaunted 'Double' of winning World Cup and AOCAF at the same time. Previously only Vilita had such an acheivement, beating Starblaydia in the AOCAF6 Final as well as winning the 20th World Cup, which Starblaydia co-hosted with Druida. The Starblaydia Under-21s won the 14th Under-21 World Cup. The other trophies in the national cabinet include the second Four Nations Invitational and the Indigenous World Cup.

Starblaydia became the first team to be ranked both #1 in the world and #1 in the footballing super-power of Atlantian Oceania at the same time. After World Cup 29 and AOCAF15, Starblaydia's "A" and "B" teams were top-ranked in their respective competitions, making Starblaydia not only the best team in the world, but also with the most strength in depth, truly a great achievement. In the aftermath of this ranking achievement, Starblaydia's men's Olympic team were crowned champions and gold medal winners at Ashford, Casari, in the First Summer Olympics.

Starblaydia are ranked ninth on the all-time list of footballing nations, as measured by the Spaam Ranking System, and were inducted into the World Cup Nation Hall of Fame - also maintained by the Spaamanian Football Association - after World Cup 27. Due to an immense regional war with the Strategic Defense League, Starblaydia failed to enter a team from World Cup 35 onwards.

History

For further information see the Starblaydia national football team history article

Starblaydia began their quest for international footballing dominance in World Cup 15 - without participating in a Baptism of Fire - and qualified for their first World Cup eight years later for World Cup 17. Starblaydia co-hosted World Cup 20 with Druida, earning a place on the World Cup Committee (as it was at the time, now Emergency WCC) and strengthening their international presence. In World Cup 25 Starblaydia took their first title, cementing their place as one of the world's greats in World Cup 28 with a second. After World Cup 29 they were ranked as the number-one team in the world and also number one in the region of sporting superpowers, Atlantian Oceania.

Home Stadium

Starblaydia do not have a single 'national stadium' like many other nations, instead the national team takes on the role of a travelling cricus and tours the nation's primary stadia to bring the team to all parts of the country for home matches.

Jhanna City's Jader Barbahlo stadium is the largest in the country, seating 96,000 fans and is most often used for the most-important occasions. The main Stadia in the cities of Jhanna, Tabeck, Corinth, Vecchio and Penningworth play host to the national team most regularly.
