The Chinese Taipei national football team is the official name given by FIFA to the national association football team of Republic of China. It is managed by the Chinese Taipei Football Association (CTFA, Traditional Chinese:中華民國足球協會), the controlling body for football in Taiwan.
It is a member of the Asian Football Confederation's East Asian Football Federation. Despite never qualifying for the FIFA World Cup, Taiwan reached the semi-finals of the 1960 and 1968 AFC Asian Cups, finishing third in the former. The side also won gold in the football sector at the 1954 and 1958 Asian Games the players in the team originally came from Hong Kong.
History
The Chinese Taipei Football Association (CTFA) was founded in the Mainland China as the China Football Association (CFA) in 1924 and relocated to Taiwan in 1949 at the end of the Chinese Civil War. Affiliated with FIFA in 1932 as China, it rejoined FIFA in 1954, first under the name Taiwan, then Republic of China, and later Chinese Taipei.
The team's greatest success came when, playing as Taiwan, they finished third in the Asian Cup in 1960. However, the players in the team originally also came from Hong Kong since the reputation of the Hong Kong national football team was not as good as the Republic of China.[4]
Due to the political conflict with People's Republic of China (China PR), Taiwan played in the OFC World Cup qualifying tournaments from 1975 to 1989.
The side reached their highest FIFA World Ranking of 143 in October 2017, under the guidance of renowned English coach Gary White. Charged with taking Taiwan to their first AFC Asian Cup since 1968, White began the process of scouting Taiwanese talent from abroad in order to improve the standard of football on the island, tapping up Tim Chow and Will Donkin for the national team. Though they ultimately failed to qualify for the Asian Cup, December 2017 also saw the country host the first edition of the CTFA International Tournament, designed to test the country in preparation for stronger teams in future.
Stadium
Many of the team's home matches were played in the Chungshan Soccer Stadium in Taipei, which was closed in 2008. The stadium's capacity was slightly above 20,000 and is a football specific stadium.
The qualification match for 2012 AFC Challenge Cup in February 2011 was played on Kaohsiung National Stadium, while the qualification match for 2014 FIFA World Cup in July 2011 was played on Taipei Municipal Stadium.
