The Chad national football team never qualified for either the Africa Cup of Nations or the World Cup. Their first participation in the World Cup qualifiers was in 2000 when they were eliminated in the first round by Liberia, losing 0-1 at home, and playing 0-0 away. They were coached by Marcel Mao. Their next attempt was in 2003, under Yann Djim, but they were eliminated by Angola. They won their first home game when Francis Oumar Belonga scored a hat trick, 3-1. They lost their away match 2-0, and went no further.
In the qualifying competition for the 2014 World Cup, Chad faced Tanzania in a first-round playoff. Tanzania advanced despite shockingly losing 1-0 at home at Dar es Salaam's National Stadium. Chad stunned the home side three minutes after the break when Mahamat Ahmat Labo struck to silence the home crowd.
Chad played against Malawi in the qualifiers for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. In the qualifiers for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, Malawi was the opponent once again. Chad lost 2-0 in the first leg at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre, but they won 3-1 in at Idriss Mahamat Ouya Stadium in N'Djamena, losing on the away goals rule.
The biggest achievement for Chad so far is a CEMAC Cup (Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa) title in 2014, after beating Congo 3-2 in the final on December 14 in Bata, Equatorial Guinea.
Les Sao had a disappointing start into their qualifying campaign for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, losing 2-0 to Nigeria and slumping to a 5-1 defeat at home against Egypt.
