history

Old logo

The team represented Macau at international football events before 1999, when the country was still a Portuguese colony. This was continued after Macau was handed over to the People's Republic of China and converted into a special administrative zone in 1999. Since then, Macau, like Hong Kong , has had its own national team that is independent of the national team of the People's Republic of China , in keeping with the “ one country, two systems ” doctrine.

Macau's first international match took place in 1949 against the South Korean national team . Macau lost the game 5-1. The first victory of a Macau national soccer team dates back to 1975, when they beat Panama 2-1.

Macau is one of the most unsuccessful AFC teams . So far, Macau has not qualified for an Asian soccer championship or a World Cup .
