The West Papua football team is a team from the Indonesian western half of the island of Western New Guinea. It is a member of ConIFA, having previously been a member of the NF-Board. On 23 June 2005, the West Papua national football team played in the 2005 UNPO Cup in The Hague. They played only one match against South Moluccas. They drew (1–1), and South Moluccas won on penalties. West Papuans were listed to take part in the 2006 VIVA World Cup but then withdrew.[citation needed]
The national team returned to action in 2019, playing a friendly against East Turkestan, for the first time after 14 years hiatus.[7] On 25 January 2020, the F.A.W.P. was accepted in to ConIFA as its full member.[4]
