Rohingya national football team
Association football team representing the Rohingya people
The Rohingya national football team represents the Rohingya people, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group in Rakhine State, Myanmar (also known as Arakan, Burma).[1][2] The team is not affiliated with FIFA and therefore cannot compete for the FIFA World Cup. However, it is a member of CONIFA, a federation of football associations representing ethnic minorities and stateless nations.[3]
The team is sponsored by Rohingya Vision TV, the Kick Project (NGO), and the Government of Australia.[4]
