- The Football War, also known as the 90 Minute War, was a series of battles between El Salvador and Honduras that took place during FIFA qualification games. The hostilities started when the captain of the El Salvador national football team famously declared war on the Honduras football team - which prompted both governments to formally declare war on each other in response. El Salvador went on to beat Honduras in overtime to qualify for the FIFA World Cup, but later lost in an unrelated skirmish against the USSR. The war is the first in history to be fought entirely on the football field, except for some violence among the spectators.
