The Swaziland national football team, nicknamed "Sihlangu Semnikati" (King's Shield) [ [http://www.zana.gov.zm/news/viewnews.cgi?category=6&id=1049131539 zana-arts ] ] , is the national team of Swaziland and is controlled by the National Football Association of Swaziland. It has never qualified for the World Cup or the African Nations Cup finals. Sihlangu's best performance in an international tournament is a semifinal finish in the COSAFA Cup. Their performance over the years has been inconsistent. The current spell under the guidance of Swiss coach Raoul Savoy has resulted in seven defeats for the team.

However, on 8 June 2008 they achieved their first win in a World Cup qualifier since 1992, beating 2006 finalists Togo 2-1 on home soil.
