The Finland national football team represents Finland in men's international football competitions and is controlled by the Football Association of Finland. The team has been a member of FIFA since 1904 and a UEFA member since 1957.
Finland had never qualified for a major tournament until securing a spot at UEFA Euro 2020, which was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After many decades of average results and campaigns, the nation made progression in the 2000s, achieving notable results against established European teams and reaching a peak of 33rd in the FIFA World Rankings in 2007. But, after that, they saw a decline of performances and results, drawing them to their all-time low of 110th in the FIFA Rankings in 2017. However, after six years of their all-time low in the FIFA Rankings, as of September 2023, they sit at 54th place in the overall ranking.<\/P>","39EE935EB0ECE6E5":"28.17","781CC09C30E6A152":"1","B9284411187FEFF20D941F8E3FDF6E1E":"Denmark","5D5D4DE02E331F86809BABE1DE910881":"Finland","9B2CF1B8E224CFD097332B024E65EDED":"68","64CC7FC06580777C":"Jacob Friis","AB7F89FECD1635E88F612521E9058068":"36,251","A98A68DC04206563":"
