The Bhutan national football team is the national team of Bhutan and is controlled by the Bhutan Football Federation. The team was founded in 1983 and joined FIFA in the year 2000. As of late 2004 they had only won two games.
On June 30, 2002, the day of the final match of the 2002 World Cup, Bhutan, then the second-lowest ranked team in the world, recorded their first victory ever. They played against the lowest ranked team, Montserrat, in a friendly match known jokingly as The Other Final, winning 4-0 at the Changlimithang Stadium in Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan. "The Other Final" was organised by Dutch filmmakers.
Prior to the 2010 World Cup, they were the only FIFA member not to have attempted to qualify for the World Cup. Bhutan withdrew from the 2010 World Cup because their stadium would not be ready in time for their matches vs. Kuwait.
