After three years of work and the creation of a league system, Futsal Namibia was accepted into theNamibia Football Association in July 2023.[3][4] At that time, Futsal Namibia founder Andrei Tirtirau announced that the organization was planning to field the nation's first-ever national team.[5] The team entered into2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations qualification and were drawn againstTanzania for a home-and-away series. The home leg, to be played on 3 February 2024, would be Namibia's first-ever match.[6]

Namibia went on to lose its debut by a score of 2–5. Maximillian Boll scored the team's first-ever goal while the second was added by Vilo Lawrence.[7][8] In the away leg played inDar es Salam, Namibia earned a surprise 6–3 victory. With the goals scored level at eight, Namibia advanced onaway goals and qualified for the2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations.[9][10] Namibia lost its opening match of the tournament proper to fellow debutantesMauritania by a score of 4–5.[11] During the tournament, Namibia was managed by the team's first-ever head coach, Ryan Jago, who became the firstEnglish coach inAFCON history.[12][13]

Two years later, Namibia enteredqualification for the2026 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations. Shortly before the competition began, Marcos Antunes ofPortugal was named the team's head coach.
