The Tanzania national football team (Template:Lang-sw) represents Tanzania in association football and is controlled by the Tanzania Football Federation, the governing body for football in Tanzania. Tanzania's home ground is Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in Dar-es-Salaam and their head coach is Mart Nooij from the Netherlands. Tanzania has never qualified for the World Cup finals. Before uniting with Zanzibar, the team played as the Tanganyika national football team.

The island of Zanzibar, part of Tanzania (and once an independent nation), is also an associate member of CAF and has played matches with other nations, but is not eligible to enter the World Cup or Africa Cup of Nations. See Zanzibar national football team.

History

Recently, Tanzania has invested more money in the team in hope of improvement. Tanzania has beaten Burkina Faso twice in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers and beat Cameroon 1–0 in a friendly match. The most recent achievement was a 1−0 win against South Africa in the 2017 COSAFA Cup Quarter-finals. But afterwards, Tanzania lost the Semi-finals 2−4 to Zambia. Then, in the Third-place playoff, Tanzania managed to win the match against Lesotho 4−2 in a penalty shootout after the extra time ended in a goalless draw. This win was considered Tanzania's major football achievement in recent history.
