The Tongan Women's National Football Team (Tongan: timi soka fakafonua fefine ʻa Tonga) represents The Kingdom of Tonga in international women's football. The team, nicknamed "Mataliki" by HRH Princess Lātūfuipeka, is controlled by the Tonga Football Association, and is a member of the Oceania Football Confederation. The squad is composed of local and international players.

Mataliki's best result was Third in the 2007 OFC Women's Championship. Their program's impressive progress was showcased recently at the 2024 Oceania Olympic Qualifiers, where they held New Zealand's National Team to 3 goals (including a shutout second half) and defeated Vanuatu 2-1.

In 2025, they participated in the 2025 OFC Women's Nations Cup, losing all three games in the Group Stage before beating the Cook Islands 1-0 in the seventh-place match. Later in November 2025, they participated in the first round of the OFC qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup as one of the four lowest-ranked national teams in the OFC confederation. In the first round, they lost 0-3 to American Samoa, ending their chance of participating in the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. Their last match of 2025 was a FIFA-sanctioned friendly against Tahiti (which had lost 0-1 to the Cook Islands 3 days prior), in which they won 4-1.

As of November 2025, Mataliki is ranked 116th in the FIFA Women's World Ranking.
