Marshall Islands took the first step into professional football
The Marshall Islands were long known as the only country without its own football national team by the United Nations. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
At the same time, since 2008, athletes from this remote Pacific archipelago have been participating in the Olympic Games. A few years ago, the situation began to change.
In particular, the football federation was established in 2021. In 2022, a coach was appointed to the national team, Lloyd Oyers.
Currently, the team is heading to its first competition. This tournament will be held in the United States, and the Marshall Islands team will play against national teams from other US-affiliated territories, such as the American Virgin Islands team.
In the future, the team plans to participate in competitions under FIFA's supervision, including the World Cup. This marks a new stage in the country's football development.
Important steps are being taken for the development of football in the Marshall Islands, and this process is ongoing.
