Beginnings In 1966, there was an initiative for the small country to play in the
South Pacific Games that year. The proposal was carried out and Wallis and Futuna entered the group stage, losing 5–0 to
Tahiti and 9–1 to
Papua New Guinea. They achieved their best results at the
1979 South Pacific Games, qualifying to the knock-out stages with a 3–1 victory over
Western Samoa after losing to
Solomon Islands 6–0. They lost their quarter-final match against
Fiji 5–0 which qualified them for the Consolation Tournament, where they were eliminated by
Tonga 1–0. At the
1983 South Pacific Games, they lost their first group match 3–0 against
American Samoa but a 2–1 victory over
Western Samoa and a 3–0 win against
Tonga meant that they topped their group. In the quarter-finals they lost 4–0 to
New Caledonia, eliminating them from the competition.
Decline The
1987 South Pacific Games was played as a round-robin, resulting in four defeats for Wallis and Futuna, with their only victory coming against
American Samoa 5–1. At the
1991 South Pacific Games they lost in each of their group stage matches and were defeated by
Tahiti in the Consolation Tournament, qualifying them for the seventh-place playoff where they beat
Guam 5–0.
Inactivity The last time Wallis and Futuna played a game was in 1995. In
this edition, the team lost all 4 games it played. Since then it has been completely inactive. ==Competitive record==
