The '''Torisakia national association football team''' | The '''Torisakia national association football team''' represented Torisakia in international football competitions. The team participated in the [[World Cup]] since World Cup 60. They never qualify for the World Cup finals, never advancing past the qualifying group stage in each of their appearances. The team also participated in the Atlantian Oceania Confederation of Association Football (AOCAF) four times. The Torisakia Association Soccer & Football Alliance (TASFA) administrated the national team. The team's home stadium was 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 played 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. | ||
Prior to World Cup 81, the team | Prior to World Cup 81, the team had not performed well internationally. They had only won 30 games in the World Cup alone over 7 appearances, and had almost double as many losses. Prior to World Cup 85, their best performance came in World Cup 69 where they went 6-4-4 (W-D-L), and had never placed any higher than fourth in a group. Many had 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 gridiron football and ice hockey) being the most widely accepted. As World Cup 81 approached, the team underwent a large revamp by completely clearing out its old staff and redoing the roster to better fit a competitive play style. This culminated in a much better performance, as in World Cup 81 the team went 3-4-11 but produced one of the best scoring offenses of the team in their international history as well as a more solid defense. Torisakia saw its best international performance in World Cup 85, where they went 12-7-5 and finished 4th in Group 2 on a 10 game unbeaten streak. The 12 wins and 51 goals are the most by Torisakia in international history. This was largely due to the 24 matchday qualifying tournament as opposed to the 12-18 matchday qualifiers as seen in previous editions. | ||
Due to a ban on participating in international competitions as a result of the sanctions levied on Torisakia's national teams following [[Kiragate]], Torisakia was not allowed to participate in future World Cups until the ban was up.

Torisakia | Torisakia was typically low in the KPB rankings, usually sitting somewhere between 150th and 275th. They achieved their highest ranking after the World Cup 85 Finals when they reached 95th, one rank higher than their previous high of 97th. Because they had not participated in the last few editions of the competition, Torisakia had fallen completely out of the KPB rankings, last coming in at 311th in the Pre-World Cup 88 Finals. Following their appearence in the 76th Baptism of Fire, Torisakira sat at 206 in the KPB rankings. | ||
