Chad

The Chad national football team, known as the Sao, is governed by the Fédération Tchadienne de Football Association and affiliated with FIFA and CAF. Founded in 1962, Chad competes in FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the Africa Cup of Nations qualification stages. The team has faced significant challenges due to limited football infrastructure and resources in one of the world's less developed nations. The squad is primarily drawn from players in the domestic league and a small number competing abroad. Home matches are played at the Stade Idriss Mahamat Ouya in N'Djamena. Despite the difficulties, Chad continues to participate actively in international competitions with the hope of achieving their first major qualification milestone and inspiring a new generation of footballers across the landlocked Central African country.
