The Tanzania women's national futsal team represents Tanzania in international women's futsal competitions and is controlled by the Tanzania Football Federation.[2]
With relatively few African countries having established women's futsal teams, the creation of the FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup and the subsequent launch of its African qualifying tournament, the Women's Futsal Africa Cup of Nations, prompted further development. Tanzania, having formed their men's futsal team in 2024, registered for the inaugural edition, becoming the first CECAFA member to establish a women's futsal side.
In April 2025, the East African team participated in their first-ever international tournament, making their debut on 24 April 2025 in a 4–4 draw against Madagascar.[3] Two days later, they recorded their first win against Senegal to advance to the semifinals.[4] In the semifinal, Tanzania maintained their unbeaten record with a win over Cameroon, securing a place in the inaugural final and qualifying for the FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup in the Philippines. In doing so, Tanzania became the first African nation to book their place in the finals.[5][6]
