The Northern Marianas Football Association is an international team from the Northern Mariana Islands. However it is not a member of FIFA, and is only an associate member of the OFC, and is therefore not eligible to enter either the World Cup or OFC Nations Cup. They participated as a guest team in the U-14 East Asian Football Federation Youth Festival in July 2006 in Beijing. The results - DPR Korea 0-6, Korea 0-16, China 0-11, Mongolia 0-5, Japan 0-12, Guam 0-6 and 0-12, Taiwan 0-13. Since December 2006, EAFF admits the Northern Mariana Islands as provisional member.
