Zambia at the World Cup
Zambia have not qualified for any World Cup tournaments (though the women's team has!).
Trivia
- Zambia and Sudan both won 4-2 at home in their 1970 qualifying play-off matches, though Sudan qualified for the next round due to scoring more goals in the second match. It was the first and only time that this weird deciding method was used in World Cup. Sudan progressed to the final qualifying round but were eliminated by Morocco.
- Zambia qualified for the women's FIFA World Cup for the first time in 2023.
- Zambia is the first landlocked country in Africa to qualify for a FIFA World Cup (male or female versions).
