The Tibet national football team is a football team that represents the cultural region of Tibet in non-FIFA international tournaments,[2] and is organized by the Tibetan National Football Association (TNFA), an organization of exiled Tibetans.

Many of the players are in exile and represent the Tibetan Government in Exile. The team is part of neither FIFA nor the AFC and does not participate in international tournaments. The TNFA was founded in 2001 and its goal is to gain an official status.
