Following accession to FIFA's full member status, the Comoros national football team has competed for entry to the African Cup of Nations and World Cup since 2010; its qualifying campaigns for both competitions were unsuccessful.

At the highest level, the country's domestic competition consists of the Comoros Premier League and the Comoros Cup. Coin Nord is the country's most decorated club, having won the league title on six occasions.[2][3]
