Lionsroar's national team is lead by the Lionsroarian Football Association (LFA), playing against other national teams of Valsora. The current coach is Peter von Neustein, and the team's home ground is the King's Field in Lowenburg.
They play since their founding in 1946 in traditional white-yellow striped kits. The shield of the coat of arms is displayed as the badge. It shows a black-and-yellow-halfed royal lion, indicating the bright and dark sides of football emotions. A special kit with a single huge roaring lion was released in 1992 following the Seventh Dynasty and is only used for special purposes.
History

Football as a popular sport has a long history and deep-rooted traditions in Lionsroar. Originating from early forms of rugby and other medieval ball games, it is by far the most popular and historically widespread sport. However, it was not until the 19th century that football experienced new waves of development and, alongside gymnastics, contributed to a collective movement. Clubs were founded, associations were formed, and the first rulebooks were written.
At that time, the League of Kings existed, but it collapsed at the end of the 19th century, leading to a civil war. During this period, football was regionally dominant, with its own leagues, cups, teams, and regulations. Consequently, there was no national team for Lionsroar, and even cross-border matches between clubs were rare.
For many decades, Löwenburg did not field a national team, but the confederal entities did - without much multiversal success though. Until when in 1987, the LFA decided to do a first advancement into international waters by particpating in the BoF. After failing horribly, it was decided to first develop the domestic league, which it did. Now fielding the most prominent and famous league in all of Valsora, Löwenburg decided to once again participate in 2006, fielding a national team to the IAC 26.
