History
The Ljetzan Football Association began the process of creating a national futsal representation in early 2023, with the establishment of a commission aimed at identifying possible players who meet the requirements for the convocation in the major national team.
To date, the process is still ongoing and should be completed in the second half of 2024; In anticipation of an international debut in the following years.
On 1 October 2023, Daniel Krätzig was nominated by the federation as the first Ljetzan head coach, by signing a multi-year contract.

Stadium
The team currently plays its home matches at Ljetzan Park in Ljetzan's capital. The Komunen Arena is a proposed new national stadium that would meet the requirements of international football confederations.
Kit
Traditionally, the badge on Ljetzan's team outfit displays a shield similar to Ljetzan's lesser coat of arms, a white lion on a black background – hence the team's nickname Royal Lions. In modern times, the team played home games in an entirely grey colour, following their nickname, and wore white as the away colour.
