The Benin women's national football team represents Benin in international women's football and it is controlled by the Fédération Béninoise de Football. They never reached the African Championship or the World Cup finals.
Benin's participation in the African Championships consists of only one qualification tournament, in 2006. Benin beat Malawi at home, and therefore moved through the first qualification round. They then drew 1-1 with Ivory Coast, and won in a penalty shootout. In the second round, Benin met Mali, and lost both matches.
Benin also entered the 2008 African Championships, but then pulled out before the tournament began. Their home defeat to Mali was therefore the last match Benin has played in so far.
The national team of Benin played its first match against Malawi on February 19, 2006; in the qualifying tournament of the 2006 African Women's Championship, which was held in Nigeria. Benin won the match by a score of 1–0, but the goalscorer was unknown. The second leg was played on February 26, 2006; this time it ended with a 0–0 draw. Benin advanced to the First Round due to an aggregate score of 1–0. In the First Round, Benin was paired with Ivory Coast and drew both matches by scores of 1–1. In the second match when it was still 1–1 after extra time, Benin won in a penalty shoot-out by a score of 4–3 and they advanced to the Second Round. In the Second Round, Benin met Mali. In the first leg, on July 22, 2006; Benin lost the match 3–1, and their only goal in the game was scored by Bouraïma Bathily, the only known goalscorer for Benin.
