The Torisakia national association football team represents Torisakia in international football competitions. The team has participated in the World Cup since World Cup 60. They have yet to qualify for the World Cup finals, never advancing past the qualifying group stage in each of their appearances. The team has also participated in the Atlantian Oceania Confederation of Association Football (AOCAF) once, where they lost all 3 of their group stage matches. The Torisakia Association Football Federation (TASFA) administrates the national team. The team's home stadium is the multi-purpose Tokai Memorial Stadium in Tokai, the nation's capital. Tokai Memorial Stadium has a capacity of 92,138 and is the largest sports stadium in Torisakia. The team also occasionally plays matches at the Troutwood Bowl (capacity: 90,800) in Douglas-La Pryor, Stadium of Peace (capacity:86,450) in Yasui, and at Mustang Alley (capacity: 78,600) in Dorrsville.
Historically, the team has not performed well internationally. They have only won 33 games in the World Cup alone over 8 appearances, and have almost double as many losses. Their best performance came in World Cup 69 where they went 6-4-4 (W-L-T), and have never placed any higher than fourth in a group. Many have speculated as to why this is, with reasons such as poor management, lack of skill compared to the rest of the world, and lack of popularity of the sport in Torisakia (as opposed to American football and ice hockey) being the most widely accepted. As of World Cup 81, the team has undergone a large revamp by completely clearing out its old staff and redoing the roster to better fit a competitive play style. This has shown to muster a much better performance, as although the team went 3-4-11 in World Cup 81 they produced one of the best scoring offenses of the team in their international history as well as a more solid defense.
Torisakia has typically been low in the KPB rankings, usually sitting somewhere between 150th and 275th. They achieved their highest ranking after World Cup 73 when they were just in the top 100 at 97th. Due to them being inconsistently able to enter the qualifying portion of the World Cup, their ranking decays over time. Such an example is after World Cup 73 the team did not appear in another installment of the tournament until World Cup 81, which by then they had completely lost their 97th ranking and were considered 'unranked' for the tournament.
