Football in São Tomé and Príncipe
The sport of football in the country of São Tomé and Príncipe is run by the Federação Santomense de Futebol. The association administers the national football team, as well as the São Tomé and Príncipe Championship.
National team
The São Tomé and Príncipe national team has been one of the weakest in Africa and, having been inactive since 2003, is no longer included in the FIFA World Rankings.
The São Tomé and Príncipe Championship is the country's top competition, with Sporting Praia Cruz and Vitória FC (Riboque) its most successful clubs. It is not however a league in the conventional sense but rather is decided by a play-off between the winners of the São Tomé Island League and the Príncipe Island League. A national cup, the Taça Nacional de São Tomé e Príncipe, is also contested irregularly.
