The Myanmar national football team is the national team of Myanmar and is controlled by the Myanmar Football Federation. It was known as the Burma national football team until 1989, when Burma was renamed Myanmar. It finished second in the 1968 Asian Cup, but has not had much success since, and has never even played a World Cup qualifier.

Other records
Won gold medals at the Asian Games football tournaments in 1966 and 1970. Qualified for Football at the 1972 Summer Olympics but lost in the Group (pool) play. Still the region's best is the best than aside from the South East Asian Nations but the glory days of the 1960s are long behind the now-struggling Asean nation. The lack of success must, at least in part, be attributed to the nation's long-running economic crisis.
