The Tanzania national football team, nicknamed the Taifa Stars, is the national team of Tanzania and is controlled by the Football Association of Tanzania. It has never qualified for the World Cup finals.
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 African Cup of Nations. See Zanzibar national football team.
