The Dzeia national football team, also known by the nickname Blue Archer, represents Dzeia in men's international football and is supervised by the Dzeia Football Association (DFA), the governing body for football in Dzeia.

Founded in 1957, until the 1980's it was a small and amateur team. For a long time traditional sports were overwhelmingly dominant and the niche was only found in those foreign expats living in Ŋołtʻokeq. After 1981, when football was fully professionalized, Dzeia has emerged as one of the most successful teams in the East, achieving second place in 1982, 1994, 1998, as well as third place in 2002 and 2006, before becoming world champions in 2010, with 11 world cup appearances so far. They have won the Sunrise Cup a total of three times, the second most in the EKFA.

Dzeia's progress in a short period has served as an inspiration and example of how to develop football. Their principal rivals are the nations of Otyken and Brennus, with whom the nation routinely contends the semi-finals and finals, as well as a more recent rivalry arising with the nations of Honalulu and Eldamar.
