Saltstead national football team

The Saltstead national football team (Saltsteadish: Såutsteides näsjonal footballsplug) is the national team of the Saltsteadish Commonwealth. Nicknamed Den Hegsten ("The Stallions") or De Näsjonal Elven ("The National Eleven"), the team falls under the jurisdiction of the Royal Saltsteadish Football Association (KSFB), the governing body for Saltsteadish football.

The team primarily contest the World Cup and AOCAF Cup, which alternate annually. Saltstead first played a World Cup Committee-sanctioned international in the 65th Baptism of Fire, which the team won after defeating Aggrey-Fynn Land 3–2 in the final, and made their début appearance in the World Cup finals in the 81st edition after defeating Drawkland in a qualifying playoff.

Kits
When at home, Saltstead traditionally play in red-and-black hoops, a colour scheme modelled off the royal colours of Saltstead, with black shorts and red socks. The colour scheme of away kits have been less consistent, though they have always included white; currently, Saltstead use white hooped shirts with blue shorts and white socks away from home.

Home stadium
Saltstead play most home matches at King William VII National Park in the capital Ashwell, though matches were temporarily relocated to Meerpark in Port Michael while the national stadium underwent renovations.

Media coverage
All Saltstead matches are broadcast with full commentary on the national Saltsteadish Television Network.
