    In June 2009, the full national team played their only match to date against a Ziguinchor Select in Senegal, and won 6-0. This was in preparation for a proposed WAFU Championship which never materialised. I think we will see Gambia participating soon - they certainly seem to have a good future.

    Central African Republic can be added to the list who HAVE NOT played.

    The one match they supposedly played (in the 2006 African Championship qualification) appears not to have taken place. In fact, it appears that the whole preliminary round of the 2006 African Championship did not actually take place. Media around the time has no mention of any of the matches, and the official entry deadline for the competition wasn't passed until the preliminary round was supposedly well underway.

    Toad455, it seems whoever was providing you with results for this tournament was having a joke. During the tournament, you've posted false results (Kenya 8-0 Djibouti instead of 7-0, Kenya 2-4 Cameroon instead of 0-5). I'm not sure if the same person provided you with these results.

    That makes something like 24 matches now that have been sent to Toad8098 of RSSSF (a different Toad?), subsequently made their way onto RSSSF.com and have then made their way into FIFA's database (and thus affect the present rankings) despite not actually having taken place (around 0.3% of the total matches in the database). This on top of an entire European tournament involving teams such as Andorra and San Marino which also never took place (but this time did not make it into FIFA's database), and various youth international matches that were also fake (over 150 matches in total).

    Somebody somewhere clearly wanted to make people believe these fake matches took place. No idea why, but it's a bit strange.

    And it seems Gambia will become the next new team to play an official international match.

    Gambia v Senegal in 2 friendly matches (11th or 12th April and 14th April) in Gambia.

    Women's Football is being talked about as a possible new discipline at the 2015 Indian Ocean Island Games. We could see Madagascar and Seychelles making their debuts then (or perhaps before).

    In 2001-2002, there was talk of a Rwanda national team having been set up to play friendly matches v Burundi and Uganda (4 matches in total). I found one of these matches, but it is reported as "Urumuri" or "Urumuli" against Uganda. Now, this is now a club team in Rwanda (I believe), but I'm not sure if in 2001 it was a club team. There are other indications it was the name of the programme set up to start women's football in Rwanda, in which case it may have been a real national team. Rwanda (Urumuri/Urumuli) lost to Uganda 0-5 in Kigali in July 2001.

    Gambia might play their first match soon. After previously pulling out of a proposed match v Senegal at home, Gambia have now been invited to Dakar for 2 friendly matches between 3rd and 11th September to prepare them for their first appearance at the African Championship finals.
