The '''Djibouti national football team''', nicknamed the "Riverains de la Mer Rouge" ({{lit|Shoremen of the Red Sea}}), is the national [[Association football|football]] team of [[Djibouti]]. It is controlled by the [[Djiboutian Football Federation]] and is a member of the [[Confederation of African Football]] (CAF) and the [[Union of Arab Football Associations]] (UAFA). The Djibouti national football team's first win in a full [[FIFA]]-sanctioned international match was a 1–0 win vs. [[Somalia national football team|Somalia]] in the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF first round|first round]] of the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|2010 FIFA World Cup qualification]].

==History==

=== French Somaliland (1947–1960) ===
{{Anchor|French Somaliland}}
Djibouti played its first international match under the name ''French Somaliland'', at home against neighbouring [[Ethiopia national football team|Ethiopia]] on 5 December 1947 and lost 5–0. This was also Ethiopia's debut.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablese/ethi-intres.html|title=Ethiopia – List of International Matches|website=RSSSF.com|publisher=Barrie Courtney and RSSSF|date=3 December 2011|access-date=6 December 2011|archive-date=4 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230304232705/https://www.rsssf.org/tablese/ethi-intres.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The two played again in Djibouti on 1 June 1948 and Ethiopia won 2–1. On 1 May 1949, the fixture was played for the ''Emperor Cup'' in Ethiopia, and the host won 6–0. In 1954, Djibouti played Ethiopia three times: a 10–2 away loss on 1 May, a 2–0 home loss on 1 June and a 2–1 home loss the day after. Djibouti did not play a match again until 1960, when it entered a tournament for French-speaking countries held in [[Madagascar]]. The team lost 9–2 in the first round to [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] on 13 April. This was the squad's last game as French Somaliland.

=== Djibouti (1977–present) ===
After gaining independence in 1977, the team played under the name Djibouti for the first time against Ethiopia in an away match on 27 March 1983 and lost 8–1. The two played again two days later with Ethiopia again victorious, by 4–2. After a third friendly against Ethiopia, a 2–0 home defeat on 23 March 1984, Djibouti entered a tournament in Ethiopia against the host and [[Zimbabwe national football team|Zimbabwe]]. They lost 2–0 to Ethiopia on 3 June and then 3–1 to Zimbabwe on 7 June.

Djibouti's first appearance at the [[CECAFA Cup]], a local competition for nations in East and Central Africa, was in Kenya in 1994. These were its first matches since defeating South Yemen in 1988. The Djibouti squad lost 4–1 to the hosts on 28 November, 2–1 to [[Somalia national football team|Somalia]] on 1 December, and 3–0 to [[Tanzania national football team|Tanzania]] on 3 December. Djibouti did not advance to the next round.

After the 1994 CECAFA Cup, Djibouti did not play a match until the qualification campaign for the [[1998 African Cup of Nations]] in [[Burkina Faso]]. They were drawn in a two-legged qualifier against Kenya, and lost the first leg 3–0 away on 31 July 1998. The second leg at home was lost 9–1 on 15 August and Kenya went through 12–1 on aggregate.

In 1998, Djibouti became a member of the [[Union of Arab Football Associations]] (UAFA). The football squad has since participated in the [[Arab Games]], a regional [[multi-sport event]] held between nations from the [[Arab World]].

Djibouti entered its first ever World Cup qualification in an attempt to reach the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]] in [[South Korea]] and [[Japan]]. In Pool D of the first round of [[2002 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|African qualification]], it was drawn against the [[DR Congo national football team|DR Congo]] in a two-legged qualifying preliminary. Djibouti hosted the first leg at [[Stade du Ville]] in [[Djibouti (city)|Djibouti]] on 7 April 2000, drawing the match 1–1 before a crowd of 2,700 fans.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition=4395/preliminaries/preliminary=3868/matches/match=19532/report.html |title=Djibouti – Congo DR |access-date=2010-10-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091012150241/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition%3D4395/preliminaries/preliminary%3D3868/matches/match%3D19532/report.html |archive-date=2009-10-12 }}</ref> The squad lost the second leg 9–1 away at the [[Stade des Martyrs]] in [[Kinshasa]] and the DR Congo advanced 10–2 on aggregate.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition=4395/preliminaries/preliminary=3868/matches/match=19533/report.html |title=Congo DR – Djibouti |access-date=2010-10-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090425111124/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition%3D4395/preliminaries/preliminary%3D3868/matches/match%3D19533/report.html |archive-date=2009-04-25 }}</ref>

Djibouti has never played in the [[African Cup of Nations]], with the team regularly withdrawing or not entering for financial reasons.

Prior to their four preliminary qualifiers in late 2019, Djibouti had 2 wins, 3 draws and 55 defeats from 60 competitive matches. However, a number of new players were called up and results finally improved. First, in the [[2022 FIFA World Cup qualification]], Djibouti beat [[Eswatini national football team|Eswatini]] 2–1 at home and drew 0–0 in [[Manzini, Eswatini|Manzini]] to advance to the second round for the first time since the 2010 qualifying when they beat Somalia 1-0 (2–1 on aggregate). This was a massive improvement from the previous edition when Djibouti had also played Eswatini and lost 8–1 on aggregate. One month later, Djibouti played two 1–1 draws against [[Gambia national football team|Gambia]] in the [[2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification preliminary round]], only losing the tie on penalties.
