Revision as of 17:08, 15 November 2007

The Montserrat national football team represents the small Caribbean island of Montserrat in the CONCACAF football region. It was formed in 1973, and has twice entered the World Cup, both times being eliminated in the first qualifying round.

Last and next games

Last game: Antigua and Barbuda 5-4 Montserrat - Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis - 02 November, 2004. (2007 Digicel Caribbean Cup / CONCACAF Gold Cup 2007)

Next game: No fixtures announced yet.

Due to the heavy volcanic activity on the island since 1995, the team has only played a handful of matches, and most of those have been away from home. Their only victories were against neighbouring Anguilla in the Caribbean Cup in 1991, Montserrat winning 3-2 at home and 1-0 away. Apart from one other draw against Anguilla, all their other matches have been lost.

On June 30, 2002, the day of the final match of the 2002 World Cup, Montserrat, then the lowest ranked team in the world, played against the second worst team Bhutan in a friendly match known jokingly as The Other Final, losing 4-0. Their current FIFA rank of 200 is joint last of all FIFA members. Notts County striker Junior Mendes remains one of their few professional players.
