The team was first organised by the Pan-Kiravian Soccer Promotion Association (PKSPA) in [YEAR] in order to play exhibition matches and arouse popular interest in the sport to lay the foundation for a domestic professional league. It was unsuccessful in this goal, as watching their team routinely get shafted on the pitch by foreign squads did little to stoke the enthusiasm of Kiravian fans. The team's organisational fortunes improved under Kirosocialism, when it was integrated into the Unified National Sporting System under the [[List of Government Agencies Defunct after Kirosocialism|Department of Sport]], and made the apex of a government-run {{wp|football league system|league system}} that stretched all the way down to the local amateur and youth soccer leagues. The team's performance improved under Kirsok, as the government invested somewhat heavily in promoting soccer as the primary youth sport and as an educational tool. More children playing soccer in school and in state-run youth leagues resulted in a stronger bench of players for the national team. The team also became homogeneously Kiravian during this period, as the government ended the practice of recruiting and naturalising foreign players, which it denounced as "bourgeois cosmopolitanism". After Kirosocialism, the Department of Sport and Unified National Sporting System, and the reconstituted PKSPA resumed control of the team as a private organisation. | The team was first organised by the Pan-Kiravian Soccer Promotion Association (PKSPA) in [YEAR] in order to play exhibition matches and arouse popular interest in the sport to lay the foundation for a domestic professional league.
