The Guatemala national football team is the men's senior national soccer team representing Guatemala, governed by the Federación Nacional de Fútbol de Guatemala. Established in 1919, the team has been a FIFA member since 1946 and was a founding member of the CONCACAF confederation in 1961. It also participated in its predecessor, the CCCF, from 1938 until CONCACAF's formation.
The team is notable for its long-standing presence in Central American football, although it has never qualified for a FIFA World Cup finals tournament. Its primary competitions include the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the FIFA World Cup qualifiers, where it has historically been a competitive side within the region.
Recently, the team has been indirectly referenced in news coverage due to the ongoing World Cup qualification process in the CONCACAF region. Recent headlines have highlighted the historic qualification of other nations, such as Curaçao, which has brought increased attention to the qualifying campaign and the performances of all teams involved, including Guatemala's efforts in the same competition.
