The national soccer team of the African state Djibouti is one of the weakest in the world. The Fédération Djiboutienne de Football joined FIFA in 1994, so the first matches between 1947 and 1988 are not considered by FIFA.

The team has not yet managed to qualify for a soccer World Cup or the Africa Cup . The qualifying round for the Africa Cup of 2002 was the first qualification in which the team participated; but there she failed in the first round to Burundi . Djibouti first took part in the qualification for the 2010 World Cup, which also served as a qualification for the 2010 African Cup of Nations. Djibouti finished the qualification in the second round with 2:30 goals in the group bottom and was therefore unable to qualify for the 2010 African Cup. In qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil , Djibouti faced Namibia in the first and second leg . Both games were lost 4-0, which eliminated Djibouti.
