The Sudan women's national football team (Arabic: منتخب السودان لكرة القدم للسيدات) is the official women's national football team of the country of Sudan. The team was established in 2021, and is controlled by the Sudan Football Association (SFA), the governing body for football in Sudan.
Women were not allowed to officially participate in sports such as football, until the Sudanese revolution of 2018–19 abolished the former restrictive public order laws.[3] In September 2019, a women's league with 21 teams from different cities in Sudan was established.[4] The national team first qualified for the 2021 Arab Women's Cup, organized by the Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA) in Cairo, Egypt.
