The Tanzania national football team, nicknamed the Taifa Stars, is the national team of Tanzania and is controlled by the Tanzania Football Federation. It 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 African Cup of Nations. See Zanzibar national football team.
