The Mongolia national football team{{efn|{{langx|mn|link=no|Монголын хөлбөмбөгийн үндэсний шигшээ баг|Mongoliin khölbömbögiin ündesnii shigshee bag}}, {{IPA|mn|mɔɴɢɜɬíɴ xɵɬpɵmpʉɣíɴ untɘsní ɕikɕé paq|pron}}}} represents Mongolia in international football and is controlled by the Mongolian Football Federation.
Founded in 1959, the association was inactive between 1960 and 1998 when the team did not feature in any international fixtures. The Mongolian Football Federation is a member of the Asian Football Confederation and the East Asian Football Federation. The team has never participated in the FIFA World Cup, and the only major international tournaments the team has taken part in are the 1998 Asian Games and 2016 AFC Solidarity Cup, not progressing past the group stage in either competition.
History
Mongolia's first international fixture was a 12–0 loss to Japan during a match in Manchukuo in 1942. Between 1960 and 1998, the Mongolia team played no international matches before being accepted as a FIFA member in 1998.{{cite web |title=Mongolian football takes a giant steppe |url=https://www.fifa.com/who-we-are/news/mongolian-football-takes-giant-steppe-70609 |website=FIFA.com}}{{dead link|date=October 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} Mongolia's first competitive matches were in the 1998 Asian Games qualifiers where they were heavily defeated by Kuwait 11–0, and by Uzbekistan 15–0.
They entered qualification for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but lost their opening five matches before drawing 2–2 with Bangladesh, securing a single point. In the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Mongolia was drawn against the Maldives and though they remained competitive after the first leg, only losing 1–0 at home, they were crushed in the second leg in Malé 12–0 and eliminated. In the first round of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Mongolia was beaten 9–2 on aggregate by North Korea, and four years later in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Mongolia lost to Myanmar 2–1. Mongolia then lost in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers to Timor-Leste; however, they were later awarded two 3–0 victories as Timor-Leste had fielded numerous ineligible players. This came after the second round matches had been played; therefore, Mongolia did not advance in the competition.{{cite web |title=Latest decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee |url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2017/m=12/news=latest-decisions-of-the-fifa-disciplinary-committee-2924351.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171212170357/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2017/m=12/news=latest-decisions-of-the-fifa-disciplinary-committee-2924351.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=12 December 2017 |publisher=FIFA.com |date=12 December 2017 |access-date=31 December 2017}}
