The Yap football team is the official football team representing the island of Yap, one of the four Federated States of Micronesia. It is not affiliated with FIFA or OFC. But the Yap football team plays matches against other Micronesian national teams, some being full-Asian Football Confederation-members like Guam national football team and some being associate member of the Oceania Football Confederation like Palau national football team.

The Yap football team contested the Federated States of Micronesia national football team on August 16, 2002 in the village of Dinay, belonging to the municipality Rull on the island of Yap. This was the last match played by Yap so far. The Federated States of Micronesia national football team, in action since 1999, can be viewed as successor of Yap.

They mainly play international matches in Micronesia Games.

Since 31 July, 2007 Yap is provisional member of NF-Board, which organizes matches for non-official national teams.
