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 claims that Zanzibar comes under the auspices of Tanzania, and is therefore represented at international level. However till 1964, Zanzibar was a full CAF member, but was never able to qualify to African Cup Of Nations.

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 the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in the final. For that tournament, they were coached by the German comedian Oliver Pocher. Their u-20 team also played in the 2006 ELF Cup, finishing fourth of eight, winning one game (1-0 against Kyrgyzstan's national futsal team) and drawing twice (against Gagauzia and Greenland) before losing 5-0 against Northern Cyprus in the semifinal. They regularly play in the CECAFA Cup, which includes national teams from Central and East Africa, and in 1995 edition they became champions, winning the final match 1-0 against the host nation, Uganda.
