The Pohnpei football team is the official football team representing the island of Pohnpei, one of the four Federated States of Micronesia. It is not affiliated with FIFA or OFC. But the Pohnpei football team plays matches against other Micronesian national teams, some being full-Asian Football Confederation-members like Guam national football team and some being associate member of the Oceania Football Confederation like Palau national football team. They mainly play international matches in Micronesia Games. They are yet to register a win, and some call the team the weakest football team in the world.
