The '''Kiribati men's national football team''' is the national men's [[association football|football]] team of [[Kiribati]] and is controlled by the [[Kiribati Islands Football Association]]. Kiribati is not a member of [[FIFA]] but is an associate member of the [[Oceania Football Confederation]] (OFC),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofcnewsdetails/kiribati-enjoying-new-adventure|title=Kiribati enjoying new adventure |publisher=OFC|access-date=23 March 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080906225411/http://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofcnewsdetails/kiribati-enjoying-new-adventure|archive-date=6 September 2008}}</ref> and is therefore not eligible to enter the [[FIFA World Cup]] but may enter the [[OFC Nations Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oleole.com/media/main/resources/blogs/ofc-page-content/ofc_statutes_english_fa.pdf|title=OFC Statutes, Article 10, Section 2b|publisher=OFC|access-date=23 March 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721234152/http://www.oleole.com/media/main/resources/blogs/ofc-page-content/ofc_statutes_english_fa.pdf|archive-date=21 July 2011|df=dmy-all}}</ref> It became a provisional member of the [[N.F.-Board]] on 10 December 2005.

==Background==
Kiribati have only ever played 11 International matches up to April 2012 where they scored 7 goals and conceded 125. All of these matches were played away from home due to the lack of grass pitches in the archipelago.<ref name="BBC Sport">{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17790014|title=The hardest job in football?|website=bbc.co.uk|publisher=BBC Sport|date=20 April 2012|access-date=21 April 2012|archive-date=21 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120421175046/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17790014|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[Bairiki National Stadium]] has a sand pitch rather than grass. Kiribati's first match took place in [[Fiji]] on 30 August 1979 when they played [[Fiji national football team|Fiji]], losing 24–0 in a South Pacific Games match. The side have never won a match but came very close when they lost 3–2 to fellow minnows [[Tuvalu national football team|Tuvalu]] on 30 June 2003 in Pool A of the South Pacific Games in Fiji, as well as losing 4–2 in penalties to Tuvalu in the consolation round of the 1979 South Pacific Games. Kiribati's only two goals in the 2011 Pacific games were scored by [[Karotu Bakaane]] versus Papua New Guinea and Erene Bakineti versus [[Tahiti national football team|Tahiti]], but in the 2003 competition, both goals against Tuvalu came from Lawrence Nemeia on the 26th minute and the 46th minute.

In 2012, Scotsman [[Kevin McGreskin]] became the team's coach, with the aim of improving its results and obtaining recognition from FIFA.<ref name="BBC Sport" />

On 10 April 2015, [[Jake Kewley]] was officially appointed as the Manager and Ambassador for the Kiribati Islands National Football Team with the remit of liaising with the relevant footballing bodies to advance Kiribati's prior membership applications, with a FIFA application being drafted, finalised and submitted later that year.<ref name="BBC World Service - World Football">[http://bbc.in/1EGMljc]. BBC. 15 May 2015. Retrieved 24 January 2017.</ref>

On 6 May 2016, Kiribati was formally accepted as the newest member of ConIFA (Confederation of Independent Football Associations), becoming the first ever Oceanic member to join the federation.<ref name= "Kiribati-CONIFA">{{cite web|url=http://www.conifa.org/en/members/kiribati/|title=Kiribati − Background|website=conifa.org|publisher=CONIFA|access-date=24 January 2017|archive-date=7 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171007125436/http://www.conifa.org/en/members/kiribati/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Kiribati hosted an official visit from ConIFA in November 2016 for the national football competition in Tarawa – Taiwan Sport Tournament – with ConIFA documenting the tournament whilst in the country.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kiribatifootball.com/|title=A Beautiful Game for a Beautiful Nation|website=kiribatifootball.com|publisher=Kiribati Islands Football Association|access-date=24 January 2017|archive-date=16 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116153429/https://kiribatifootball.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> Kiribati [[2018 ConIFA World Football Cup qualification|qualified]] for the [[2018 ConIFA World Football Cup]], that was held in [[England]].<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Team Tibet set for 2018 CONIFA World Football Cup in London next summer|url=https://www.tibetsun.com/news/2017/09/08/team-tibet-set-for-2018-conifa-world-football-cup-in-london-next-summer|access-date=3 October 2017|magazine=Sports Illustrated|publisher=Time Inc.|date=8 September 2017|archive-date=3 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171003225428/https://www.tibetsun.com/news/2017/09/08/team-tibet-set-for-2018-conifa-world-football-cup-in-london-next-summer|url-status=live}}</ref> However, Kiribati were forced to withdraw, with Tuvalu taking their place.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://footballoceania.com/2018/03/07/kiribati-pull-out-of-world-cup/|title=Kiribati pull out of World Cup|date=2018-03-07|work=Football in Oceania|access-date=2018-09-09|language=en-US|archive-date=12 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612140433/https://footballoceania.com/2018/03/07/kiribati-pull-out-of-world-cup/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://thebootifulgame.co.uk/2018/03/07/breaking-news-tuvalu-to-replace-kiribati-at-the-2018-conifa-world-cup/|title=BREAKING NEWS!
