The East Timor national football team is the national team of East Timor and is controlled by the Federaçao Futebol Timor-Leste. East Timor has never had success on the international stage. They are currently one of the weakest teams in the world. East Timor joined FIFA on September 12, 2005.
East Timor's international debut was the preliminary round of the Asian Cup in March 2003, where it lost 3-2 to Sri Lanka and 3-0 to Chinese Taipei. It also participated in the 2004 Tiger Cup. East Timor's participation in the 2004 edition of South East Asia's premier international football event was revealed following an Asian Football Confederation council meeting in Petaling Jaya. Although not yet a member of the AFC, the East Timor Football Association was invited to sit in on the meeting where they were represented by FA president Francisco Kalbuadi.
