[edit] History

Having formed a football association in 1996 and joined FIFA in 1998, Turks and Caicos Islands made its first appearance at an official FIFA competition when they entered the 2002 World Cup qualification. In March 2000, the team was knocked out in the first qualification round by St. Kitts and Nevis 14-0 on aggregate.

At the 2006 World Cup qualifying competition, the side suffered a 7-0 aggregate loss against Haiti in February 2004.

In 2007, the federation completed construction of their first stadium, the Turks and Caicos National Stadium,[1] with the help of the FIFA Goal Programme, and have committed themselves to building a broad base of football participation and support.^{[citation needed]}

On February 6, 2008, the team achieved its first World Cup qualification win 2-1 against Saint Lucia in the CONCACAF first round at home, but in the second leg played March 26, 2008, they were eliminated after they fell short having lost the away leg 0-2 in Saint Lucia for a 2-3 aggregate score.^[1]
