World Cup 87 qualification
The newly appointed head coach Alrik Valatanen was facing a difficult task, his inexperienced team was drawn in a group with heavyweights Valanora, Kelssek, Darmen and the rising team of Squidroidia. Frestovenia opened their qualifying campaign with two wins over the low-ranked sides of the Tornado Queendom and Icecliff. The match against Icecliff at home was won by an 8–2 scoreline, making it the highest-scoring game in the group and the largest win for the national team, after a successful start, the Frestovenians disappointed with a run of five defeats in a row, only managed to win 4–1 against Jabal Akhdar and were ranked eighth in their group during the halfway stage of the qualification. The second half of the qualification showed a big contrast compared to the first half, Frestovenia surprised with a 2–0 win over Barunia and a 2–1 win over Squidroidia at home, also the win over Wreckeria was included in the series of unforeseeable results. The team of head coach Alrik Valatanen finished in fifth place with a positive record of nine wins and nine defeats.
