List of Azam Sport Federation Cup Winners: Tanzania FA Cup, also known as the Azam Sports Federation Cup, is currently recognized as the premier knockout tournament in Tanzanian football. It is a competition where teams from various divisions and regions of Tanzania compete for the cup title. The tournament format follows a knockout system, where teams face off in single-elimination matches until a champion is crowned.
Prior to the establishment of the Tanzania FA Cup, the Nyerere Cup held the distinction as the top knockout tournament in Tanzania. The Nyerere Cup was introduced in 1974 and featured participation from teams representing both Tanzania mainland and the Isles of Zanzibar. It was named after Julius Kambarage Nyerere, the first President of Tanzania.

The Nyerere Cup served as a platform for clubs from different regions of Tanzania to compete against each other and showcase their talents. However, with the introduction of the Tanzania FA Cup, the format and structure of the tournament changed, making it the premier knockout competition in Tanzanian football.
The Tanzania FA Cup, or the Azam Sports Federation Cup, has now become the primary tournament for teams across the country to demonstrate their skills, compete for the trophy, and earn recognition in Tanzanian football.
