The Zanzibar national football team is the national team of Zanzibar, and is controlled by the Zanzibar Football Association. Zanzibar is not a member of FIFA and is only an associate member of CAF, and is therefore not eligible to enter either the World Cup or the African Nations Cup. FIFA claim that Zanzibar come under the auspices of Tanzania, and are therefore represented at international level. Zanzibar is a provisional member of the NF-Board. The team placed 2nd in the 2006 FIFI Wild Cup tournament, losing 4-1 on penalties to Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in the final. For that tournament, they were coached by German comedian Oliver Pocher.
