Wikipedia - Comoros national football team
The Comoros national football team represents the Comoros in international football and is controlled by the Comoros Football Federation. 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.
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.
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".
In the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Comoros are currently the only unbeaten team within Group I after they won 4-2 against Central African Republic and 1-0 against Ghana, with both games being played at home.
Comoros has a passionate fan base and plays their home matches at the Stade Said Mohamed Cheikh in Moroni, the capital city. The team's colors are red, white, and green, reflecting the colors of the Comorian flag.
Comoros has made significant strides in recent years, achieving their highest FIFA ranking in history. The team has also made appearances in regional tournaments such as the Indian Ocean Island Games and the COSAFA Cup.
Comoros has a talented squad of players who compete with determination and pride on the international stage. With a growing reputation for their strong defensive play and team spirit, Comoros is a team to watch out for in future competitions.
