The El Salvador national football team, known as La Selecta, represents El Salvador in international football, and is governed by the Federación Salvadoreña de Fútbol. It has been affiliated with FIFA since 1938 and a founding member of CONCACAF since 1961. From 1938 to 1961, it was a member of CCCF, which was the former governing body of football in Central America and Caribbean and a predeccessor confederation of CONCACAF.
The national team's first match was played in September 1921, when they were invited to participate in a tournament to celebrate 100 years of Central American Independence.
El Salvador has made two FIFA World Cup appearances: first in 1970 and again in 1982, but have never progressed beyond the first stage of a finals tournament. They were the 1943 CCCF champions, and finished in second place in the 1941 and 1961 championships. They have competed in the CONCACAF regional tournaments fourteen times, finishing as runners-up in 1963 and 1981.
