The Græcia national football team represents Græcia in men's international association football matches, and is controlled by the Sports Administration of Græcia, the governing body for football in Græcia. Between 2020 and 2022, Græcia played their home matches in the borough of Hagia Aikaterini; however, in November 2022, the team decided to allocate its games across the four macronations containig Græcian lands.

History

First years

Between its establishment in 2020 and 2024, Græcia had never played an official match: only a few friendly matches. Græcia has also never been invited to any unofficial tournaments.

2024 FIIFA World Cup

In 2021, Græcia's application to become a member of FIIFA was accepted by the organisation; unfortunately, it was too late to by included in that year's edition of the World Cup. As a result, Græcia had to wait for 3 years, before their inaugural appearance at a World Cup. In the group stage, Græcia was drawn into group E with Undrgastáas, Daewolju, and Goldlandia.
