History

The Sikkim football team represents Sikkim, a former protectorate and now state of India. When a protectorate, they were not affiliated with FIFA or the Asian Football Confederation, and therefore did not compete for the FIFA World Cup or Asian Cup.

They compete in the Santosh Trophy as they did when independent, but they have never won the trophy.
