Zambia has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup, despite being a regular participant in the qualification rounds.
Tanzania's national football team, known as the Taifa Stars, has also never qualified for the FIFA World Cup.
In the Africa World Cup qualification process for the 2022 World Cup, Zambia was placed in Group B alongside teams like Tunisia and Mauritania.
Tanzania was drawn into Group J for the same qualification campaign, where they faced opponents such as Democratic Republic of Congo and Madagascar.
Both Zambia and Tanzania have had mixed performances in their World Cup qualification matches, struggling to consistently secure wins against stronger opponents.
Despite their lack of success in World Cup qualification, both countries have produced talented players who have gone on to have successful club careers in Europe and other regions.
