American Samoa women's national football team

The American Samoa women's national football team represents the unincorporated and unorganized territory of the United States in Polynesia, American Samoa in international women's international football. The team is governed by the Football Federation American Samoa and competes in OFC (the Oceania Football Confederation).

The team has traditionally been considered the weakest in terms of world ranking and on-field performance, failing to win a single match from its inception until late 2025. It has participated in the OFC Women's Nations Cup once, in 1998, and has competed in four of the six Pacific Games. Outside of these competitions, the team has yet to take part in any major international tournaments.^[2]

American Samoa played its first international matches in 1998, entering the 6th edition of the OFC Women's Championship. On October 9, 1998, the team faced Australia in its first-ever match, suffering a 21–0 defeat (7–0 at halftime).^[3] Their second match, though less heavy, ended in a 9–0 loss to Papua New Guinea.

Nine years later, the team competed in the 2007 Pacific Games in Apia, Samoa.^[4] Placed in Group A, American Samoa finished last with one draw and three losses. Their first positive result came in a 1–1 draw against the Cook Islands. The team returned for the 2011 edition in Nouméa but failed to win any matches, losing all four group games.^[5] They did not participate in the 2015 Pacific Games.

In 2018, two decades after their first OFC Women's Nations Cup appearance, American Samoa entered the qualifying tournament for the 2018 edition.^[6] Despite narrowly losing 2–0 and 1–0 in their matches, the team failed to reach the finals. The following year, they returned to the Pacific Games for the 2019 edition. The team lost three matches by nine or more goals, with their only positive result a scoreless draw against the host nation and rival Samoa.^[7]

At the 2023 Pacific Games, American Samoa lost all three group-stage matches. Cook Islands withdrew from the placement match, allowing American Samoa to finish in ninth place. Their struggles continued during the 2024 Summer Olympic qualification, where the team conceded 26 goals across three matches.^[8]

In 2025, after opting out of the OFC Women's Nations Cup, American Samoa returned to competitive international scene in the first round of OFC qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. Under new head coach Amanda Cromwell, the squad underwent a significant overhaul, with the majority of players based in the United States. Despite being the lowest-ranked team in the group, American Samoa stunned Tonga, the highest-ranked nation, with a 3–0 victory, marking the program's first competitive win.^[9] They followed this with a 4–0 triumph over the Cook Islands, their largest-ever win, securing a place in the second round of qualification.^[10][11]
