Tikariot national football team

The Tikariotian national football team is the representative team of Tikariot in international. It is currently organised by the Tikariot Football Federation, the current governing body for football in Tikariot.

The team has won the first edition of the IFC and has participated in the qualification for the World Cup 86.

Nickname
Named after the national animal of Tikariot, the team is called the Snowy Owls, which also is part of their jersey.

Rivalries
The biggest rivals are Rushmori neighbours Græntfjall national football team and South Newlandia national football team from Esportiva.

Style of play
The Snowy Owls traditionally play a 4-3-3 formation with high fluidity. The wing backs push forward in attacking situations, while the wingers drop back in return when the team is being pushed in the defensive. While nominally playing with a classic two winger-one central forward formation, the forwards frequently switch sides in an effort to make their tactics harder to predict. Coach Stuart Ekstrom's motto is "I'd rather win 5-4 than 1-0."

Supporters
The Tikariot side has a very loyal and fervent following that will travel with the team in large numbers. The fans are known for wearing black hooded robes, often with black and purple facepaint. They also are part of the Snowy Owls' pregame ritual, which has the players take up a triangular formation near the centre circle and then led by a drum from the fan block clapping their hands in an increasing rhythm while yelling "huh" as a war cry.

Home stadium
The Tikariot national football team plays in rotating stadia, but their two main homebases are the Oceanview Park in Port Rhovanyon, Rhovannyr, home of the Port Rhovanyon AFC and the Dhaencunor Arena in Tikariot City, Dhaencunor, home of the Tikariot City FC.
