This article is about the men's team. For the women's team, see Gianatla women's national football team.
The Gianatla national football team (Alman: Gianlucische Fußballnationalmannschaft) represents Gianatla in men's international football since 1897. The team's governed by the Gianlucian football association (Gianlucischer Fußballbund (GIF)) founded one year prior. Before the incorporation of Atlantis in 2011 the countries of Gianlucaland and Atlantis got both represented by their own respective national teams. The current national team has inherited all records of the former Gianlucian team, but not of the Atlantic one.
Gianatla was recently one of the more successful teams on the international stage, having won the IUFA Football World Championships two times (2017, 2018) and having been runner-up an additional two times (1996, 2016).
History
In 1896 Emperor Gianluca III passed the Gianlucian sport association law (Gianlucisches Sportbundgesetz), which founded also, along to nine more sport associations, the GIF, the Gianlucian football association. The original goals for founding these associations were on the one hand to prevent sport clubs from becoming too powerful and deciding in a monopoly position about how a sport progresses inside the Gianlucian borders, and on the other hand, to set the path for national teams. The emperor envisioned "Gianlucaland asserting dominance all over the world through sports". Therefore he wanted to create experts in different sports that would compete internationally.
On 1 October 1897 Gianatla made its first appearance on the international stage, when they played in Frost City against a selection from the Frost Empire. Their first game ended in a 2-4 defeat, much to the dismay of the Gianlucian emperor. However in the Frost Empire the game was a catalyst for the popularisation of football.
In the following years the national team played irregularly against other international teams, mostly focusing on their direct neighbours. Up until now the team they played against the most was the Snovian team, against which they played 42 games.
After the Great War, Queen Charlotte I's brother Peter was the driving force for Gianlucaland joining the IUFA and partaking in the 1956 IUFA FWC, where Gianatla got knocked out in the group stage after losing against Ryccia and Sedunn.
In the 1964 IUFA FWC Gianlucaland reached the knockout-stage for the first time. They got into the semi-final, which they lost 2-3 after extra-time against Karnetvor. On this followed a 0-6 defeat against Terra, still the highest defeat a team has ever experienced in a FWC bronze medal match.
In the 1996 IUFA FWC Gianlucaland reached the final for the first time, where they lost 0-1 after extra-time against the hosts from Omega. The team got nicknamed Silver Boys (Silberjungs) and the team, who played in the final, got honoured by Queen Charlotte I herself.
The first victory in a world cup was celebrated in the 2017 IUFA FWC. One year after once again ending up as the runner-up, they managed to get into the final another time, where they defeated the Frost Empire with 1-0. The success got repeated once again one year later at home, where they won over Bruuma in the final with a score of 5-2. The team playing both world cups got nicknamed The Lucky Charms (Die Glücksbringer) and were also honoured, this time by King and Leader Gianluca IV.
Team image
Kits
The typical home colour of the Gianlucian team is yellow. This was defined by Emperor Gianluca III in the sport association law 1896 and kept as a tradition even after the Great War. The away colours alternate and depend on the incumbent head of state. While Emperor Gianluca III preferred green and Queen Charlotte I red, King Axel I changed the colours to black. King and Leader Gianluca IV however hasn't picked a favourite colour for the away kit yet. Under his reign the team wore mostly red (2008-2017), but also black (since 2018). There are rumours about the team changing to a blue away shirt in the near future.
The shorts were in the colour of the opposite kit most of the time.
While the players had to make their clothes themselves before the Great War, this changed afterwards. Since 1956 Gianlucian fashion manufacturer Fennick is supplying the team with their kits.
Home Stadium
The Gianlucian national team's home stadium is the Altes Sportfeld (Old Sports field) stadium near the city of Gianlucastadt in the municipality of Raufstedt.
Anyhow since 2011 they also play friendlies and competitive games in the Stadion von Atlantis (Stadium of Atlantis) and the Fennick-Arena in Freudstadt, in the district of Freuen, which is named after the team's kit supplier.
Media coverage
The Law on Television in its version from 2016 deems all games of the Gianlucian national team as important enough to only be broadcast on free-TV with live coverage. Furthermore live streams of live broadcasts from games of the national team also need to be completely free to watch and may not require an account for the user.
Qualifier or friendly games are broadcast by the partly publically financed BUS TV SPORT, all competitive games are covered by the fully publically financed BUS TV. As of the 2021 IUFA WFWC in Huawan qualifier and friendly games as well as competitive games from the group stage of a tournament will be broadcast by private TV channel Dritte, all knockout-stage games will stay at BUS TV.
All broadcasts are also available as live streams on the internet.
Historic matches are regularly shown during the night on pay-tv sports channels of the Dome network.
