History

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.{{cite web |date=25 April 2025|title=Tanzania open Women's Futsal AFCON campaign with draw against Madagascar|url=https://cecafaonline.com/tanzania-open-womens-futsal-afcon-campaign-with-draw-against-madagascar/|website=cecafaonline.com|publisher=CECAFA|access-date=28 April 2025}} Two days later, they recorded their first win against Senegal to advance to the semifinals.{{cite web |last=Apio|first=Nicole|date=28 April 2025|title=Tanzania Lionesses Roar into AFCON Semi-Finals, World Cup Dream Within Reach|url=https://nbssport.co.ug/2025/04/28/tanzania-lionesses-roar-into-afcon-semi-finals-world-cup-dream-within-reach/|website=nbssport.co.ug|access-date=28 April 2025}} 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.{{cite web |date=28 April 2025|title=Tanzania stun Cameroon to reach Women's Futsal Africa Cup of Nations final|url=https://www.cafonline.com/womens-football/news/tanzania-stun-cameroon-to-reach-womens-futsal-africa-cup-of-nations-final/|website=cafonline.com|publisher=CAF|access-date=29 April 2025}}{{cite web |date=29 April 2025|title=Morocco and Tanzania reach Philippines 2025|url=https://www.fifa.com/en/articles/morocco-tanzania-qualify|website=fifa.com|location= |publisher=FIFA|access-date=29 April 2025}}
