Medal record | ||||
The Comoros national football team represents the Comoros in international football and is controlled by the Comoros Football Federation.[3] It was formed in 1979, joined the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in 2003, and became a FIFA member in 2005. Comoros qualified for their first major tournament in 2021, after their 0–0 draw with Togo assured them of a place in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.[4]
History
The national football team of the Comoros played their first matches in the 1979 Indian Ocean Island Games. Those were the only games they played until qualification for the 2009 Arab Nations Cup in 2006. Those two matches were their first two matches with full FIFA recognition, and included a 4–2 victory over Djibouti. In 2007, Comoros first entered qualification for the World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations for the 2010 tournaments, but lost in the preliminary round 2–10 on aggregate to Madagascar.
During the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in October 2015, Les Coelacantes advanced past the first round for the first time ever by beating Lesotho on away goals after two draws. Since then results have improved steadily, including home wins against Botswana, Mauritius and Malawi in Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
On 14 November 2019, Comoros opened their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign with a 0–1 win away to Togo, their first away win in a major qualifier. They would go on to qualify for the final tournament, their first major tournament since joining FIFA.[4]
In the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, Ahmed Mogni scored a brace for Comoros in their 3–2 group match victory over Ghana in what the BBC described as "one of the biggest shocks in Nations Cup history".[5]
In the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Comoros started off strong within Group I after they won 4–2 against Central African Republic and 1–0 against Ghana, with both games being played at home.[6] Comoros then won 2-0 against Chad, but they also lost 2-1 to Madagascar. They would be eliminated after losing to Madagascar 2-1 again.
During the 2024 COSAFA Cup, Comoros reached the semi-finals for the first time in their history and lost 2-1 against Angola; Comoros then claimed fourth place after losing on penalties against Mozambique.[7] Comoros went one better in the 2025 COSAFA Cup and finished third after defeating Madagascar 1–0.[8]
