The El Salvador national football team represents El Salvador in international association football and is controlled by the El Salvador Football Federation. El Salvador became the first Central American team to qualify to a FIFA World Cup, and also the first to do so twice, by qualifying in 1970 and 1982. El Salvador won the 1943 CCCF Championship as host, and finished second in the 1963 and 1981 CONCACAF Championships.

In the 1970 FIFA World Cup qualification, El Salvador was involved in the notable Football War with neighbor Honduras which lasted four days. El Salvador went on to eliminate Honduras and eventually qualified for the 1970 FIFA World Cup.
