Uralica has a men's national football team governed by the Uralikan Palloliitto. Its first match was a 4-2 win over a team from La Fleur and the following match was a 1-0 loss to the same. Since then it has played several unsanctioned friendlies against friendly nations from various alliances, but is best known for exceeding expectations in the FIFOB Alliance Cup in early 2009, making it to the semifinals before being eliminated in an epic 11-round penalty shootout by Transvaal.
Recently, the system has changed, allowing more than forty players to be in the pool for selection at any one time. Typically Bolakliiga and Ykkönen players make up this pool, although the odd Kakkonen player has been known to sneak in, and all Uralican leagues are eligible.
