The Guam women's national football team is the female representative football team for Guam.

History[edit]

Guam took part in the 2003 South Pacific Games in Suva, Fiji, finishing second.^[3]

The team competes regularly in the EAFF E-1 Football Championship. The team first played in the tournament's preliminary competition in 2007 against round winners South Korea, Chinese Taipei, and Hong Kong.^[4]

Guam, officially nicknamed "Masakåda" (meaning "brave woman" in Chamorro), played in the preliminary round of the 2013 EAFF East Asian Cup, losing to Northern Mariana Islands and Hong Kong.^[5]

In the 2015 EAFF East Asian Cup, Guam qualified to Preliminary round 2 after defeating Northern Mariana Islands 7–0 and Macau 11–0, Guam's biggest victory to date. Guam's Samantha Kaufman won Tournament MVP honors and teammate Paige Surber won the Tournament Golden Boot Award.^[6]

In 2016, under head coach Mark Chargualaf, the Masakåda again qualified for Round 2 of the EAFF tournament, again with back-to-back 5–0 shutout wins over both the Northern Mariana Islands and Macau. Guam's Samantha Kaufman repeated as Tournament MVP, while also earning the Co-Golden Boot Award with teammate Paige Surber.^[7]

Guam competed in the 2019 EAFF E-1 Football Championship Preliminary Competition Round 1 and finished second to host country Mongolia, despite scoring the most goals and allowing the fewest goals in the tournament.^[8]
