The Dominica national football team represents Dominica in men's international football, which is governed by the Dominica Football Association founded in 1970. It has been an affiliate member of FIFA since 1994, an associate member of CONCACAF since 1990 and becoming a full member in 1994. Regionally, it is an affiliate member of CFU in the Caribbean Zone.
Dominica has never participated in the FIFA World Cup and the CONCACAF Gold Cup, but has participated twice in League B and twice in League C of the CONCACAF Nations League.
Dominica played its first international match in 1932, against Martinique, a match that ended in a 1âÂÂ0 victory. In the 1940s they participated in the 1948 Coupe des Caraibes, losing in the preliminaries against Martinique 5âÂÂ0 but qualified due to Trinidad and Tobago's withdrawal. In the competition proper, Dominica again faced Martinique, losing 6âÂÂ0 and being eliminated.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Dominica played in several editions of the Windward Islands Tournament, winning the competition in 1971 with two 3âÂÂ0 victories over Saint Vincent and Grenada, and a 2âÂÂ2 draw against Saint Lucia. In the 1980s, Dominica regularly participated in the qualifying rounds of the CFU Championship, although they were unable to make it into the tournament proper.
After the creation of the Caribbean Cup in 1989, Dominica was only able to qualify for the group stage in the 1994 edition. They could not get past the first phase, after losing to the hosts Trinidad and Tobago 5âÂÂ0 and Guadeloupe 4âÂÂ0. They were only able to draw 1âÂÂ1 with Barbados. They next qualified for the 1998 Caribbean Cup, being eliminated again in the first round, this time with three defeats against Martinique 5âÂÂ1, Antigua and Barbuda 2âÂÂ1 and Trinidad and Tobago 8âÂÂ0. Dominica has not managed to return to the final phase of the Caribbean Cup since.
Dominica participated in World Cup qualification for the first time in the 1998 qualifiers beating Antigua and Barbuda in the first round (3âÂÂ3 in Roseau and 1âÂÂ3 in St. John's) before losing in the second phase to Barbados (1âÂÂ0 in both Roseau and Bridgetown).
In the 2002 qualifiers, the Pericos succumbed to Haiti 7âÂÂ1 on aggregate, and in the 2006 qualifiers, after beating the Bahamas with an aggregate result of 4âÂÂ2, the Dominicans faced the Mexican team that crushed them 10âÂÂ0 in the first leg, then 8âÂÂ0 at Aguascalientes. The decade would end with an elimination at the hands of Barbados, just like in 1996, this time as part of the 2010 qualifiers (1âÂÂ1 in Roseau and 0âÂÂ1 in Bridgetown).
On 15 October 2010, Dominica achieved the greatest victory in its history, beating the British Virgin Islands 10âÂÂ0, with 5 goals from striker Kurlson Benjamin - in the first qualifying round of the 2010 Caribbean Cup. The following year, in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, Dominica was drawn against Panama and Nicaragua. They lost all four of their games, failing to score a goal and conceding 11. They were eliminated from 2018 World Cup qualification by Canada, who beat them 6âÂÂ0 over two legs.
