The Kernow football team represents Cornwall at international association football since 2018. It uses the native Cornish name of the region, Kernow, to represent its team, and is managed by the Kernow Football Alliance. As the side is not a member of UEFA or FIFA, it cannot qualify for the UEFA European Championship or FIFA World Cup, although it is a member of ConIFA and is eligible to participate in the ConIFA World Football Cup and ConIFA European Football Cup. The team is currently managed by Darren Gilbert, and coached by Darren Wright, Andrew Graham and Wayne Roberts. In 2023 Kernow faced FA Sápmi in a deciding match to join the 2024 ConIFA World Football Cup. Kernow won 2-1 progressing to the 2024 CONIFA World Football Cup finals.

History

Following the 2018 ConIFA World Football Cup held in London, the Kernow Football Alliance was formed by Andrew Bragg and Jason Heaton, and officially joined CONIFA in November 2018.[1] They played their first game on 25 February 2019 against Foxhole Stars in an unofficial game,[2] running out 3–2 winners. The next month, it was announced that they would take part in the 2019 Atlantic Heritage Cup, which was to act as a 2020 ConIFA World Football Cup qualification tournament.[3] However, they withdrew before the tournament, to be replaced by Chagos Islands. They played their first official international on 25 May 2019 against Barawa, winning 5–0 in Bodmin.

Kernow entered the 2024 CONIFA World Cup Qualification, where they were placed in Group A with Sápmi. They beat Sápmi 2-1 and qualified for the 2024 CONIFA World Cup.
