The Zimbabwe women's national football team is the national women's football team of Zimbabwe and is overseen by the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA). As of March 2017 they were ranked 84th in the world.
Their first competitive international match was played in the 2000 African Women's Championship, when they drew against Uganda 2–2 on 11 November 2000. They actually were in the draw for the 1991 edition, but withdrew from the tournament before playing a match.
Their best result in the African Women's Championship was 4th in 2000. They have never qualified for the World Cup.
They qualified for the 2016 Olympic football tournament, and finished last in their group (containing Canada, Germany, and Australia) after losing 6–1 to Germany, 3–1 to Canada and 6–1 to Australia.
Zimbabwe were slated to appear at the 1991 African Women's Championship, but withdrew before their first round match with Zambia. In June 1997 the team played South Africa at FNB Stadium in a curtain raiser to the men's Nelson Mandela Challenge. In 2003 the team's star player Yesmore Mutero publicly accused the national coach Shacky Tauro of infecting her with HIV during extramarital sex. Tauro denied the claims but abruptly left his job. Mutero died in 2004, followed by Tauro in 2009. A subsequent inquiry into allegations of widespread sexual abuse of Zimbabwe's female footballers was botched by ZIFA.
