Due to the Non-Recognition Policy of theUnited States and other countries towards Manchukuo, the team was not permitted to join theAsian Football Confederation (AFC) orFIFA , and was therefore not eligible to enter either the World Cup orAFC Asian Cup .Manchuria played three international matches all against Japan during the late 1930s, losing each one of them, conceding 16 goals and scoring no goals.
The first two matches were held in September 1939 as part of the “Championship Games of Amity with Japan, Manchukuo, and China” ("Nichi-Man-Ka Kokan Kyogikai"), a Japanese-organized successor to the
Far Eastern Championship Games which had fallen into dysfunction with the outbreak of theSecond Sino-Japanese War . The third match took place at the East Asian Games ("Toa Taikai"), which were held to both celebrate the 2600th Anniversary of theJapanese Empire , but also to celebrate the start of theGreater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere .List of games played by Manchuria against Japan
