Benin's participation in the African Championships consists of only one qualification tournament, in 2006. Benin beat Malawi at home, and therefore moved through the first qualification round. They then drew 1–1 with Ivory Coast, and won in a penalty shootout. In the second round, Benin met Mali, and lost both matches.
Benin also entered the 2008 African Championships, but then pulled out before the tournament began. Their home defeat to Mali was therefore the last match Benin has played in so far.
