The Lakshadweep football team is an Indian football team which represents the union territory of Lakshadweep, India. The team participates in Indian state football competitions including the Santosh Trophy (since the 2016–17 edition).
History
During the All India Football Federation general body meeting on 21 December 2016, it was confirmed that the Lakshadweep Football Association would gain affiliation with India's national football association. After gaining affiliation, the federation began preparations for the 2016–17 Santosh Trophy qualifiers. Majority of the players come from the local Kavaratti League. Their first match occurred on 6 January 2017 when Lakshadweep took on Tamil Nadu. Despite being resilient in defense, Lakshadweep succumbed to a 2–0 defeat. Four days later, on 10 January, Lakshadweep made history by earning their first ever victory in the Santosh Trophy, a 1–0 victory over Telangana. K.P. Ummer was the goalscorer for Lakshadweep.
Despite not qualifying the previous tournament, Lakshadweep returned for the 2017–18 qualifiers. In their first match against Madhya Pradesh the side won 5–0.
Comprised of both experienced veterans and promising young talents, the "Lakshadweep" team is led by a dedicated coaching staff that emphasizes discipline, hard work, and sportsmanship. Their distinctive blue and white jerseys proudly display the colors of the Lakshadweep flag, symbolizing unity and pride for their island home.
With a strong fan base cheering them on, the "Lakshadweep" team continues to strive for success on the national and international stage, showcasing the talent and potential of soccer players from this small but vibrant region of India. Their determination and passion for the game make them a force to be reckoned with in the world of Indian soccer.
