The Asturias autonomous football team is the national football team for Asturias. They are not affiliated with FIFA or UEFA, because it is represented internationally by the Spanish national football team. The team only plays friendly matches.
The Regional Cantabric Federation of Football Clubs was founded on 9 December 1915 with the aim to represent all the clubs in the Province of Oviedo. On 22 November 1916, the Spanish Football Federation proposed that the clubs from Cantabria moved from the Northern Federation, where the Basque teams were integrated, to the Regional Cantabric one, with the Asturian clubs.
With the name of Cantabric team, it played four official matches between 1917 and 1918 in the defunct , organised by the Spanish Federation and played by all the Spanish Regional teams.
On 28 May 1918 the Cantabrian clubs moved back to the Northern Federation, so the Spanish Federation agreed to change the name of the Cantabric Federation to Regional Asturian Federation of Football Clubs. After a first friendly game against St Mirren F.C. that finished with a 3–7 loss, the Regional Asturian team played seven more official games between 1922 and 1926, becoming also champion of the Copa Príncipe de Asturias in the 1922–23 season and runner-up in the 1925–26 edition. During the 1930s, the Asturian team continued playing several friendly games until the Spanish Civil War.
On 23 December 2000, the Royal Asturian Football Federation rescued the Regional team for playing a friendly game at Estadio Carlos Tartiere against Macedonia. Juanele scored the only goal of the match, with 30,000 people filling the stadium in Oviedo. Asturias played two more games, against Lithuania in Gijón and Honduras in Avilés, ending unbeaten its revival.
