The Tasmania official football team is the official football (soccer) team for the Australian state of Tasmania.
The all star team of Tasmania represented the state in two matches. Tasmania was defeated by the Australian national football (soccer) team (October 10, 1984). It was officially a B-Team of Australia, but many A-Team players were included: Wally Savor, Alan Davidson, Joe Watson, Frank Farina , Paul Wade, Graham Arnold (coach of the Australian national football (soccer) team 2006-2008).[1] Tasmania achieved a draw against Tahiti national football team May 1, 1985.[2]
The lineups of a further match between Tasmania and Australia July 21, 1956 are known, but the result is not retrieved.[3]
They are now represented under the NF-Board as they cannot join FIFA or the OFC. Tasmanians are however eligible to play for the Australian national football team
