Introduction
The Chagos Islands national football team is a football team representing the territory of the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. However, this area, which falls under the administration of the British Indian Ocean Territory, is uninhabited save for the presence of a US military base on the island of Diego Garcia, after the United Kingdom evicted the local population between 1967 and 1973. As a consequence, the team in fact represents the Chagossian diaspora around the world.
The team was founded in 2006 and is affiliated to the Chagos Football Association. They have played in a number of international tournaments, including the CONIFA World Football Cup and the World Unity Football Alliance World Series.
