Although the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was formed on April 28, 1992, because of the sanctions banning the country from international sporting events, the football team didn't play its first match until 23 December, 1994, when they lost to Brazil. Since the split, the team has qualified for the World Cup once, in 1998, and for the European Championship once, in 2000. In 2003, with the renaming of the country, the team assumed its current name.

FIFA considers the Serbia and Montenegro team the direct descendent of the SFRY national team; however, since that one represented a much larger group of people, the information on this page and elsewhere on this site is split, with the Yugoslavia national football team article covering the pre-1992 Yugoslavia.
