The Kiribati men's national football team is the national men's football team of Kiribati and is controlled by the Kiribati Islands Football Association. Kiribati is not a member of FIFA but is an associate member of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC),[2] and is therefore not eligible to enter the FIFA World Cup but may enter the OFC Nations Cup.[3] It became a provisional member of the N.F.-Board on 10 December 2005.
