History

The Guam Women's National Football Team earned Guam's first-ever victory over a FIFA member nation after Guam Football Association obtained full FIFA member status in 1996. Taylor Dervish and Kelly Hogan Morphy scored in the 55th and 60th minutes in Guam's 2–0 win over Hong Kong on Nov. 11, 1999 at the AFC Women's Championship that year. Guam competed in Asia's flagship women's tournament in each edition from 1997 through to the 2006 edition. Guam was registered to play in the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualifiers; however, after being drawn into Group C in Palestine, the team pulled out of the competition, as did the Lebanon Women's National Team.

The team earned its highest FIFA/Coca-Cola Women's World Ranking in 2003 following its silver medal finish at the 2003 South Pacific Games in Suva, Fiji under Head Coach Tom Renfro.

Statistics/Results from the 2003 South Pacific Games in Suva, Fiji for the Guam Women's National Team:[3]

Overall record of 3–1–2 (W-L-D) in round robin play, losing the gold medal to Papua New Guinea (4–1–1)

The Guam Women's National Team competes regularly in the East Asian Football Federation flagship tournament, now called the EAFF E-1 Football Championship. The team first played in the tournament's preliminary competition in 2007 against round winners Korea Republic, Chinese Taipei, and Hong Kong.[4]

In 2012, under head coach Elias Merfalen (GUM), the Guam Women's National Team officially coined the nickname "Masakåda" which means "brave woman" in the local Chamorro language, ahead of the 2013 EAFF East Asian Cup Preliminary Competition Round 1 in Guam played at the LeoPalace Resort Guam in July 2012. In the preliminary competition, Guam finished second behind Hong Kong. Down 0–3 at half time, Guam managed to level the match by the 72nd minute with two goals from captain Anjelica Perez and one from Paige Surber. Hong Kong later scored the game winner in the 76th minute to advance to the tournament Preliminary Competition Round 2.[5]

In 2014, under head coach Sang Hoon Kim (KOR), the Masakåda qualified for Round 2 of the EAFF tournament, first defeating the Northern Mariana Islands 7–0 and next, earning its biggest win to date against a FIFA member nation, an 11–0 shutout of Macau. Guam's Samantha Kaufman won Tournament MVP honors and teammate Paige Surber won the Tournament Golden Boot Award.[6]

In 2016, under head coach Mark Chargualaf (GUM), the Masakåda again qualified for Round 2 of the EAFF tournament, again with back-to-back 5–0 shutout wins over both the Northern Mariana Islands and Macau. Guam's Samantha Kaufman repeated as Tournament MVP, while also earning the Co-Golden Boot Award with teammate Paige Surber.[7]

The team later traveled to Hong Kong for Round 2 of the tournament under Head Coach Belinda Wilson (AUS). Wilson later was appointed Technical Director of Guam Football Association from 2017 to 2019.

Guam competed in the 2019 EAFF E-1 Football Championship Preliminary Competition Round 1 and finished second to host country Mongolia, despite scoring the most goals and allowing the fewest goals in the tournament.[8]
