The Tanzania national futsal team is controlled by the Tanzania Football Federation, the governing body for futsal in Tanzania, and represents the country in international futsal competitions.

History

After three years of work and the creation of a league system, Futsal Namibia was accepted into the Namibia Football Association in July 2023.[2][3] At that time, Futsal Namibia founder Andrei Tirterao announced that the organization was planning to field the nation's first-ever national team.[4] The team entered into 2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations qualification and were drawn against Tanzania for a home-and-away series. The home leg, to be played on 3 February 2024, would be Namibia's first-ever match.[5]

Namibia went on to lose its debut by a score of 2–5. Maximillian Boll scored the team's first-ever goal while the second was added by Vilo Lawrence.[6][7] In the away leg played in Dar es Salam, Namibia earned a surprise 6–3 victory. With the goals scored level at eight, Namibia advanced on away goals and qualified for the 2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations.[8][9] Namibia lost its opening match of the tournament proper to fellow debutantes Mauritania by a score of 4–5.[10] During the tournament, Namibia was managed by the team's first-ever head coach, Ryan Jago, who became the first English coach in AFCON history.[11][12]
