In 1983, the team entered the 1984 Thomas Cup qualifying rounds in Ostend but did not participate.
In 2004, the team competed in the 2004 Thomas Cup African Qualifiers. The team failed to qualify after losing to Nigeria, Mauritius, South Africa.[3] [4] In 2008 and 2010, the team reached the quarter-finals of the Thomas Cup African qualifiers but lost 3–0 to Nigeria.[5] In 2012, the team were eliminated in the group stage of the Thomas Cup African qualifiers.
In 2016, the team competed in the African Men's Team Championships. The team were drawn into Group B with Algeria and Ghana. The team were eliminated in the group stages after losing 5–0 to Algeria and 4–1 to Ghana. The team also did not advance further from the group stages in the African Men's Team Championships in 2022 and 2024.
