== History ==
The Rhinea national football team was officially formed in 2018. The team played their first international match in the same year, facing off against Arkmarken in the MIFF United Great Lakes Monthly Cup February 2018. Rhinea lost the match 1-0. Rhinea failed to qualify from the group stage. Rhinea participated in 12 monthly cups with mixed results. Their best placement is a third-place, achieved in March 2018 and February 2021.
Rhinea qualified for the 2019 MIFF World Cup, its first major international tournament in 2019. Rhinea qualified from the group stage. Ultimately, Rhinea was knocked-out in the quarter-finals by the Western Republic. That same year, Rhinea also qualified for the 2019 EFC European Cup. The team was knocked-out in the quarter-finals again, this time by Albadonia.
After MIFF became active again in 2023, Rhinea returned as an active member. Rhinea qualified for the 2023 MIFF World Cup and made history by achieving a third-place finish, their best result in a major tournament at the time. In 2024, Rhinea made history again by winning their first major international tournament, the 2024 EFC European Cup. They clinched the victory by beating Swania 2-0 in the final. 
The team's home stadium is the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, which has a capacity of 50,000 spectators. The Rhinea national football team's crest features a horse, which is a prominent symbol in Rhinean culture and history. The team's colors are green and white, which are also the colors of the Rhinean flag.
