The Akach national football team represents Akach at football and is controlled by the Federation Akachese de Football (FAF), the governing body for football in Akach. The current team manager is Henri Bocandé. The national team first played an international football match many years ago, but only tracks its history since 2306. This timing coincides with the opening of their current home stadium; Léopold Touré Field, at Emekula Community Sports Arena, in the Iton Valley region of Akach.
Akach primarily contest events organised by the Democratic Socialist Assembly Football Federation (DSAFF), namely the Comrades Cup every summer, and the Frost Cup every winter. On their first entry to the Comrades Cup, in 2023, Akach emerged as the champions, defeating Ukotrium (UEC) 4-2 in the final.

Rabastor Unity Trophy
The Rabastor Unity Trophy is a competition which often changes format, but exists to promote unity between the nations of the Rabastorian Union (RBU). Sometimes the tournament is a knockout format, sometimes it involves a round-robin stage. Sometimes other nations are invited.
Solidarity Cup
The Solidarity Cup is an annual fixture contested by the Akach national team and Cobre club side CF Solidarité Akach. The two sides alternate who will be the home side each year.
Friendship Bowl
The Friendship Bowl is a tournament hosted by the Marmaladaica Friendship Council for Football every two years. Four teams play in a single round-robin tournament, with points awarded depending on results. The team with the most points at the end of the tournament wins the Friendship Bowl – a literal bowl, filled with produce from each of the participating nations.
