Zwangzug national football team

The Zwangzug national football team represents Zwangzug in international competitions, most frequently the World Cup and its associated competitions.

The team has competed in several distinct eras; the "first generation" team competed from World Cup 33 to World Cup 42, winning Cup of Harmony 25 and finishing second in WC42. The "second generation" competed from World Cup 64 through World Cup 69 before the country ceased to exist. They sporadically contested the Eagles Cup, winning the sixth edition of that tournament, and then a "third generation" team participated in World Cup 80, then World Cup 82 to the present.

History
lots

Zwangzug have always worn white kits with black stripes at home, and black kits with white stripes away, the more similar the better, though will grudgingly make allowances to distinguish themselves from their opponents if necessary.

The first generation team played its home games at Wayr Stadium in the Rackham Range, after first establishing an even higher and more remote training camp. Upon reconstitution, the new team did the same for World Cups 64 and 65. Beginning with World Cup 66, the association established the tradition of playing qualifying matches at different fields throughout the country, and this has been continued to the present.

World Cup
Zwangzug qualified to the World Cup via playoffs in World Cups 36, 67, and 69; they lost in playoffs in World Cup 68.

Other tournaments
Due to the unique nature of the World Cup of Dreams, goalscorers were not recorded and it is not considered a statistically-meaningful tournament in Zwangzug records.
