The Rohingya national football team represents the Rohingya people, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group in Rakhine State, Myanmar (also known as Arakan, Burma).[1][2] It is composed of refugees living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, who are members of the Rohingya Football Club (RFC),[3][4] which was founded on 10 January 2015. The team is not affiliated with FIFA and therefore cannot compete for the FIFA World Cup. However, it is a member of CONIFA, a federation of football associations representing ethnic minorities and stateless nations.[5]
