The Vœyetska national football team (Swedish: Voeyetska fotbollslandslaget) represents Vœyetska in men's international football and it is controlled by the Vœyetska Fotbollförbundet, the governing body of football in Vœyetska. Vœyetska's home ground is Friendship Arena in Sjédal which is the largest stadium in Vœyetska. The team has been coached by former national team player Lars Olqvist since 2016. The current roster is believed by many to be part of the golden age of Vœyetskan football.

Vœyetska has qualified for 25 World Cups, their first being the 1977 tournament. Vœyetska were the champions of the 2024 World Cup. Vœyetska were also the runner-ups in the 1991, 1999, 2002, and 2008 tournaments. The team's successes in international competitions have them ranked among the top 7 teams in Euronia. Other accomplishments of the Vœyetska team include a 7-0 Group of 32 victory over West Chanchajilla in the 1988 tournament, and they were part of the highest-ever scoring World Cup final in a 7-4 loss to Versenia in 1991. Vœyetska hosted the 1989 World Cup, with the main location being Ídolfsvinn.

Vœyetska has also been a prominent side in additional continental tournaments, most notably the EFC Nations League, in which they have performed well among other Euronian nations.

Kit

In the early days of the Vœyetska national football team, Joseph Haaland, the older brother of the manager Johnny Haaland, was put in charge of acquiring and supplying the kits of the team. Joseph was instructed to find teal or green kits. He was also directed to not get white because the majority of teams at the time wore white and it could possibly cause confusion for the team's players. While he was on his mission to find a manufacturer and distributor, Joseph came to realize that almost none of the major material provided for a price within the budget. Jospeh wrote a letter to Johnny regarding the situation. Johnny wrote back that sky blue would be the best option available. It was unique, affordable, and visually satisfying. Since then, nearly all of the national team's first kits have been sky blue, and the second kits have consistently been green.

Kit Sponsorship

Since 2015 Red Elk, a Vœyetskan sports apparel company that has been rapidly increasing in popularity and sales, has manufactured the Vœyetska national team's kits. Prior to that they were made by IK3 from 2004 to 2015. In 2002 to 2004 the uniforms were made by Poullos but quickly shifted to IK3 because the players complained that the kits were too heavy especially while playing in the rain or moist conditions. From 1973 to 2002 Grönner, Inc. was responsible for the kits.

The Vœyetska national football team has had seven different badges over the course of their 108 year history.

The first ever club badge was designed by the co-founder of the national team, Hallfred Lindstedt. The logo features the letters "VFF" in old english font on a light blue color circle, the traditional color of the team's home kits. The circle has a gray outline solely added for visual purposes. It also displays the borders of Vœyetska representing the country as none of the flag's colors are a part of the logo. The logo was used until 1937 when the Selection Committee decided to alter the logo to something considered more "modern".

In 1938 the design team decided on a black shield logo with a gray outline, five snowflakes representing the five provinces, the letters "VFF" for the Swedish spelling of "Vœyetska national football team", and the year 1914 acknowledging the founding of the team. Originally, the logo was not liked by most fans as they wanted something more "patriotic" especially after ditching their last logo. However, the Committee did not make any further actions regarding the badge and the logo slowly became accepted.

In 1961 the majority of the Selection Committee determined the badge needed to be redone after being international confused for other team's logos. For the first time in history, the Committee issued a design contest. The winning design was submitted by 22 year old Miranda Cederschiöld with about 2,139,000 votes. The logo showed the national animal, the melanistic Vœyetskan fox, also known as the silver fox. The logo's inner circle is white with a teal border. The outer circle utilizes the traditional light blue with a traditional teal outline.

The 1961 redesign was well-liked but still did not contain very much of Vœyetska's national identity. In 1981 another design contest was held. The winning logo consisted of a Vœyetskan fox with the letters "VFF" for the Voeyetska fotbollslandslaget. In the upper right hand section of the logo are three snowflakes representing Vœyetska's cold environment. The foundation of the crest is a green circle with white and teal outlines.

The national team's new head coach Elliot Lauridsson despised the old logo, saying, "The fox looks possessed and the snowflakes seem out of place." Elliot Lauridsson headed a new logo design project, and in the end the team, but mostly Elliot Lauridsson, concluded they had put together a very complete logo. That logo features a teal octagon base with a white decagon on top of that with the standard snowflake. However, this logo was hated by Vœyetskans as well as people around the world. Lauridsson once said in an interview, "This is our best work yet, we have our national colors, a neat and clean design, and uniqueness." Even though the fans hated the logo, Lauridsson made sure it would stay in place. After a horrid World Cup in 1999, Elliot Lauridsson was sacked, and the team abandoned the badge.

As soon as Nicolai Østigård assumed the role of head coach, one of his major priorities was to select a logo that would be appreciated by the fans. His new logo was created with simplicity and patriotism in mind. The logo features a tilted green square with a gray border surrounded by teal. In the middle of the square are the words, "Voeyetska fotbollslandslaget". Below the text is a large white snowflake to represent the team.

2008 saw the final change to the Vœyetska national football team logo to date. With hopes of modernizing the old logo, the next logo displays a teal pentagon with two gray borders. In the middle is a snowflake larger than the previous one. Below that are the abbreviated letters "VFF" for "Voeyetska fotbollslandslaget". The logo was approved by the board on 6 March 2008 and revealed to the public exactly one month later. The logo has been well liked by fans. As such, it has lasted well over a decade.

Home stadium

The Vœyetska national football team's home ground Friendship Arena

The Vœyetska national football team has played their home games at Friendship Arena in Sjédal since 2007 replacing the old Idrotaasparken which was recently destroyed. The national team shares Friendship Arena with the Vœyetska league giants AIF Sjédal. Friendship Arena is the largest arena in all of Vœyetska with a capacity of 80,000. The Idrotaasparken was considered too small for the growing team and the stadium itself was showing signs of deterioration. It is rumored that Friendship Arena will be the main city in Vœyetska's bid to host the 2024 World Cup.

Construction for Friendship Arena began in 2001 and took until 2007 when the arena was finally suitable for the national team. AIF Sjédal moved into the building and have played their home games there since 2010 when the Idrotaasparken was destroyed.
