The Saint Kitts and Nevis national team is the football team of the tiniest state in both Americas Saint Kitts and Nevis. Owing to cultivation of sugar on the island the players are waggishly nicknamed the Sugar Boyz among its fans. The team belongs to the St. Kitts and Nevis Football Association founded in 1932. It affiliated to CONCACAF in 1990 and to FIFA in 1992.
Saint Kitts played their first official game in a 1-2 defeat to Jamaica in June 1979. The dwarf country has played with little effect to ever qualify for FIFA World Cup competitions. The Caribbean Cup is the only tournament where the team managed to show at least some more or less reasonable achievement. They finished fourth in 1993 and were runners-up in the 1997 Caribbean Cup behind Antigua and Barbuda.
The team’s biggest breakthrough was a 10-0 victory over Montserrat in 1992. It sustained its biggest 0-8 loss to Mexico in 2004.
Saint Kitts and Nevis currently holds the 113th in the FIFA table, which is very close to their best ever result 108th rank.
