The Transnistria national football team is the national team of Transnistria, a de facto unrecognized state in Eastern Europe. They are not affiliated with FIFA or UEFA and therefore cannot compete for the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championship. However, they are a member of CONIFA, an umbrella association for national teams not affiliated with FIFA.[1]

While Transnistria has not yet played any international matches, a representative team has participated in the Dniester Cup, a friendly mini-football tournament also involving two veteran clubs from Russia and Hapoel Bat Yam F.C. from Israel. Transnistria finished second with two wins and one loss.[2] The national team, however, is eligible to enter qualification for the CONIFA World Football Cup, the premier international football tournament for non-FIFA members, and has in recent years expressed interest in doing so.[3]
The President of the Federation is Pavel Prokudin, who has held this function since March 2018. The Federation also oversees club football at the state and regional level, which is designed to eventually become a feeder system to the national team.[4]
