The New Caledonia men's national football team (French: équipe de Nouvelle-Calédonie de football), nicknamed Les Cagous (transl. "The Kagus"), is the national team of New Caledonia; it is controlled by the Fédération Calédonienne de Football. Although they were only admitted to FIFA in 2004, they have been participating in the OFC Nations Cup since its inception. They have been one of this relatively small region's strongest teams, finishing second in 2008 and 2012, and third in 1973 and 1980. They were the top ranked OFC nation at number 95 in September 2008, making them only the fourth country from the confederation to have reached the global top 100.
