The Jeku national football team represents Jerku in international football and is controlled by the Jerku Football Federation, the governing body of football in Jerku.
Jerku has a long history of football, as a result of the sport being introduced by the foreign traders in the 19th century. Since the 1960s when Jerku has re-integrated to global football, the sport soon became a part of Jerkuan society and a weapon to fight against the negative trauma of the country due to loss of independence during the World War. This made the national team become part of Jerkuan nationalism and contributed to passionate support worldwide. Jerkuan supporters are dubbed to be some of the best and most passionate fans, renowned for large celebrations over the team's achievements, regardless if it is a senior or youth side.
