The Comoros national football team, nicknamed the Coelacanths, represents the Union of the Comoros in international football under the auspices of the Comoros Football Federation. This island nation has become one of Africa's most inspiring football stories in recent years. Based in Moroni, the team plays its home matches at the Stade de Moroni. Comoros' football history was long defined by struggle, but a new era dawned with their first qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations in 2021, where they famously defeated Ghana in the group stage. This golden generation, featuring stars like El Fardou Ben Nabouhane and captain Nadjim Abdou, captured the hearts of the continent. Their style is characterized by passionate, organized defending and quick transitions. Recently, they built on that success by qualifying for the 2023 AFCON, proving their rise was no fluke. The team enjoys fervent support both at home and across the Comorian diaspora. From minnows to giant-slayers, the Comoros national team has firmly put their nation on the football map.
