The '''Gregahou national football team''' (Gregahouvian: ''Komanda futbol natsionalniy Greğahouğani'') represents [[Gregahou]] in men's international association football competitions, and is controlled by the Gregahouvian Football Association, or, in Gregahouvian: ''Assosiğatsiğa Greğahouğaniy Futbolniy''. The team's colors are white and light blue, and the storm petrel, the country's national bird, is its symbol. The Gregahouvian national team is colloquially known as ''Şvornağa'' (National selection). Gregahou plays its home matches at the Twelfth of May National Stadium in the nation's capital, [[Stolitsemlağa]], and is currently managed by Fedor Dsarnaev. The team was not a major football force in its home confederation of {{wp|CONCACAF}} until the turn of the 21st century, when Gregahouvian football became professionalized domestically.

The Gregahouvian Football Association (Gregahouvian: ''Assosiğatsiğa Greğahouğaniy Futbolniy'') was founded on March 17, 1985 under the administration of President Murat Bragin after a quick rise to popularity of what now is the [[Premyer Liga]], Gregahou's top flight of football. The national team was created first under the impression that it might build patriotism and community among the country's still-new and growing population, but Bragin's advisors were quickly surprised at the level of interest that was shown in the national team in its first few years. Within two years of its original founding, the team had secured enough resources to begin training at a specified facility and played abroad only until the completion of the country's national grounds, the Twelfth of May Stadium in the capital city, [[Stolitsemlağa]] in 1990.

The national team was created first under the impression that it might build patriotism and community among the country's still-new and growing population, but Bragin's advisors were quickly surprised at the level of interest that was shown in the national team in its first few years. Within two years of its original founding, the team had secured enough resources to begin training at a specified facility and played abroad only until the completion of the country's national grounds, the Third of May Stadium in the capital city, [[Stolitsemlağa]] in 1990.


Early matches did not show much for the newly-formed Gregahouvian side, but the turn of the 21st century saw the team rise in power among its equally-sized Caribbean counterparts with more devotion and resources spent towards the team's expansion. Sheldon Montenegro, a Gregahouvian-American, signaled his final choice to play internationally for Gregahou in 1995 with 22 years of age and began to play full time. Porte Nouvellaise prospect player Fontenay DuBois became eligible to play internationally in 2002 with the transfer of sovereignty of the player's homeland to Gregahou and became the team's lead goalscorer over the course of his continuing 16-year career. After the territory handover in 2002, many of the incoming Gregahouvian players were Nouvellaise, which, at first created dissent among other ethnic groups present, but with following success, fans began to accept the growing demographic in the national team, which remains statistically significant today. Despite the team's continued rise and success since the turn of the century, the team has not attempted to qualify for either the {{wp|CONCACAF Gold Cup}} or the {{wp|FIFA World Cup}}, and, as such, has not played in either to date. Team success has since continued in the 2010s, and notable victories include an upset of 3-1 versus {{wp|Canada national football team|Canada}} in 2019 as well as a powerful 7-2 victory over the {{wp|Curaçao national football team|Curaçao}} national team in 2017, with gradually better results against powerhouse teams as well.

The home stadium of the Gregahouvian national team is the Twelfth of May National Stadium, which is the largest stadium or venue in the country with a capacity of almost 50,000. In 1985 and 1986, no games were played at a home stadium and the team trained on a former military ground, but construction began on the stadium, named after the day of the nation's independence, in 1987, two years after the national team's founding. The stadium was completed in 1990 and originally featured a capacity of approximately 28,000 with over 10,000 spaces as standing room.

The stadium was completed in 1990 and originally featured a capacity of approximately 28,000 with over 10,000 spaces as standing room.


Numerous updates to the stadium since its opening have resulted in a capacity of 42,300 with approximately 15,000 of that capacity being standing room in 2005 after a 3 year construction period as well as a 2015 addition of lower grandstands resulting in almost 5,000 additional seats and a present capacity of  approximately 49,600. The team's training ground is also present on the site, with underground training facilities given the lack of land on the archipelago and gymnasium and physical therapy facilities for the team's use are also present.

Additional temporary stands covering the stadium's track and field facilities can extend the capacity above 50,000 if needed. The team's training ground is also present on the site, with underground training facilities given the lack of land on the archipelago and gymnasium and physical therapy facilities for the team's use are also present.

The Gregahou national football team (Gregahouvian: Komanda futbol natsionalniy Greğahouğaniy) represents Gregahou in men's international association football competitions, and is controlled by the Gregahouvian Football Association, or, in Gregahouvian: Assotsiğatsiğa Greğahouğaniy Futbolniy. The team's colors are white and light blue, and the storm petrel, the country's national bird, is its symbol. The Gregahouvian national team is colloquially known as Şvornağa (National selection). Gregahou plays its home matches at the Third of May National Stadium in the nation's capital, Stolitsemlağa, and is currently managed by Fedor Dsarnaev. The team was not a major football force in its home confederation of CONCACAF until the turn of the 21st century, when Gregahouvian football became professionalized domestically.

History

Association football has been present on the archipelago semi-professionally as early as 1965, with the founding of the Worker's Football League on offshore Tatneft oilrigs under Soviet rule. Teams from different settlements competed with each other as opponents, but professional football and an internationally-represented team was not created until 1985, five years after the nation gained its independence.

The Gregahouvian side facing Belize in a friendly in Mexico City, June 1989

The Gregahouvian Football Association (Gregahouvian: Assosiğatsiğa Greğahouğaniy Futbolniy) was founded on March 17, 1985 under the administration of President Murat Bragin after a quick rise to popularity of what now is the Premyer Liga, Gregahou's top flight of football. The national team was created first under the impression that it might build patriotism and community among the country's still-new and growing population, but Bragin's advisors were quickly surprised at the level of interest that was shown in the national team in its first few years. Within two years of its original founding, the team had secured enough resources to begin training at a specified facility and played abroad only until the completion of the country's national grounds, the Third of May Stadium in the capital city, Stolitsemlağa in 1990.

Early matches did not show much for the newly-formed Gregahouvian side, but the turn of the 21st century saw the team rise in power among its equally-sized Caribbean counterparts with more devotion and resources spent towards the team's expansion. Sheldon Montenegro, a Gregahouvian-American, signaled his final choice to play internationally for Gregahou in 1995 with 22 years of age and began to play full time. Porte Nouvelais prospect player Fontenay DuBois became eligible to play internationally in 2002 with the transfer of sovereignty of the player's homeland to Gregahou and became the team's lead goalscorer over the course of his continuing 16-year career. After the territory handover in 2002, many of the incoming Gregahouvian players were Nouvelais, which, at first created dissent among other ethnic groups present, but with following success, fans began to accept the growing demographic in the national team, which remains statistically significant today. Despite the team's continued rise and success since the turn of the century, the team has not attempted to qualify for either the CONCACAF Gold Cup or the FIFA World Cup, and, as such, has not played in either to date. Team success has since continued in the 2010s, and notable victories include an upset of 3-1 versus Canada in 2019 as well as a powerful 8-2 victory over the Curaçao national team in 2017, with gradually better results against powerhouse teams as well.

Team image

Kits and crest

Generally, since the team's inception, Gregahouvian sides have used a light blue kit taken from the color of the Gregahouvian flag for the team's first colors. In the early 1990s and notably in 2012 through 2018, a red and white kit was used. The team crest has not changed since its creation in 1985 but was not featured on the team's uniforms until 2012, when it replaced the national flag on the left chest of the uniform.

Home stadium

Third of May National Stadium is the the national team's home stadium

The home stadium of the Gregahouvian national team is the Third of May National Stadium, which is the largest stadium or venue in the country with a capacity of almost 50,000. In 1985 and 1986, no games were played at a home stadium and the team trained on a former military ground, but construction began on the stadium, named after the day of the nation's independence, in 1987, two years after the national team's founding. The stadium was completed in 1990 and originally featured a capacity of approximately 28,000 with over 10,000 spaces as standing room.

Numerous updates to the stadium since its opening have resulted in a capacity of 42,300 with approximately 15,000 of that capacity being standing room in 2005 after a 3 year construction period as well as a 2015 addition of lower grandstands resulting in almost 5,000 additional seats and a present capacity of approximately 49,600. Additional temporary stands covering the stadium's track and field facilities can extend the capacity above 50,000 if needed. The team's training ground is also present on the site, with underground training facilities given the lack of land on the archipelago and gymnasium and physical therapy facilities for the team's use are also present.
