HISTORY

See Also: Yugoslavia national football team


at '' Marakana '', October 7 , 2006 ]]
Although the Federal Republic Of Yugoslavia was formed on April 28 , 1992 , because of the International Sanctions due to the Yugoslav Wars banning the country from international sporting events, the football team didn't play its first match until 23 December , 1994 , when they lost to Brazil . Since then the team has qualified for the World Cup twice, in 1998 and 2006 , and for the European Championship once, in 2000 . In 2003, with the reconstitution of the country as Serbia and Montenegro, the team changed its name accordingly.

On May 21 , 2006 Montenegro Voted To Dissolve its political union with Serbia. On June 3 , Montenegro became a sovereign state meaning there will be separate Montenegrin national teams competing in future tournaments. This did not affect the finals of the 2006 World Cup , in which the newly independent states of Serbia and Montenegro competed under the same flag for the last time but did not progress past the group stage.

On August 16 , 2006 the new team representing Serbia played its first international match, with a 3-1 away win against the Czech Republic .
