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>","078F3C827B475FC4":"399","983F4D11FB6C2C3B732A80DC5C377379":"Finland","4ECD1B5E2820C55A130549CA8EF1E5D7":"Denmark","09138E45C3AF9F63D172519924158A69":"
