The Palestine national football team represents Palestine in men's football. The team is controlled by the Palestinian Football Association. They play in competitions organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and FIFA.

A football group was started in Mandatory Palestine in 1928. However, FIFA did not officially recognize the Palestinian team until 1998. That same year, Palestine played its first FIFA-recognized match. They lost 3–1 to Lebanon in a friendly game.

A big moment for the team was winning the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup. They beat the Philippines 1–0 in the final. This win allowed them to play in the 2015 AFC Asian Cup for the first time. Palestine also qualified for the next Asian Cup in 2019. They have not yet qualified for the World Cup.

The team has several cool nicknames. They are called "Lions of Canaan" (أُسُودُ كَنعَان), "the Fedayeen" (الْفَدَائِيُّون), and "the Knights" (الْفُرْسَان). Their main colors are red and white. In February 2018, Palestine reached their highest FIFA ranking ever, at 73rd place. This happened after they went 12 games without losing. The team's main home stadium is the Faisal Al-Husseini International Stadium in Al-Ram. However, they often have to play their home games in other countries.

History of Palestine Football

Early Years: 1928–1940

Football has been played in Palestine for a long time. It was first brought to the area during the time of the Ottoman Empire. The Palestinian Football Association was created in August 1928. It joined FIFA in June 1929. At that time, the association included Arab clubs, Jewish clubs, and clubs for British police and soldiers.

The Mandatory Palestine national team played its first game in 1934. They lost 5–0 to Egypt in Cairo. This team played five international matches. One was a friendly game against Lebanon, which Palestine won 5–1. This team stopped playing when the British Mandate ended. During these five games, only Jewish players were on the national team.

In 1931, the Arab Palestinian Sports Federation (APSF) was formed. This happened because some people felt the PFA did not represent Arab interests. A Palestinian national team played its first match against a team from the American University of Beirut that same year. The APSF stopped its activities in the late 1930s.

Becoming Recognized: 1998–2014

In May 1995, the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) became a temporary member of FIFA. Palestine finally became a full FIFA member on June 8, 1998. This happened after many tries since 1946. Under coach Ricardo Carugati, Palestine played its first official matches in July 1998. These games were against Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria.

The next year, Palestine played in the 1999 Arab Games in Jordan. They won games against Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. They also tied with Libya and Syria. They only lost to the host team, Jordan. Palestine finished in third place, which is their best result in this tournament so far.

In their first ever Asian Cup qualification, Palestine was in a group with Jordan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, and Qatar. They won one game, 2–0 against Pakistan. But this was not enough to qualify.

In 2006, Palestine played in the first AFC Challenge Cup in Bangladesh. They were in a group with the host team, Cambodia, and Guam. In the group stage, Palestine had their biggest win ever, beating Guam 11–0. Palestine moved on to the quarter-finals. There, they lost to Kyrgyzstan with a late goal. In the summer of 2006, Palestine reached their highest FIFA ranking at the time, 115th.

In 2008, with help from FIFA, the PFA built the Faisal Al-Husseini International Stadium. On October 26, 2008, Palestine played a match at their home stadium for the first time as a FIFA member. It was a 1–1 draw with Jordan, with over 7,000 fans watching.

During the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Palestine played against Afghanistan. They won the first game 2–0 and tied the second 1–1. On July 3, 2011, Palestine played its first World Cup qualifying match at home. They took the lead with a long shot by Houssam Wadi. Palestine then played against Thailand but were eliminated.

Palestine's starting line-up against the Philippines at the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup Final

The team won the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup. They only tied one of their five matches and did not let in any goals. In the first game, Palestine won against Kyrgyzstan. They then beat Myanmar 2–0. They finished the first round with a 0–0 draw against the host team, Maldives. Palestine won their group and moved to the semi-finals. There, they beat Afghanistan 2–0. In the final, Palestine won against the Philippines with a single goal scored by Ashraf Nu'man. This victory was Palestine's first major trophy. It also meant they would play in the AFC Asian Cup the next year.

Palestine was in Group D of the 2015 AFC Asian Cup. They played against Japan, Jordan, and Iraq. They lost all three group matches. They lost 0–4 to Japan in their first game. In the second game, Palestine lost 1–5. Six minutes before the end of that game, Jaka Ihbeisheh scored Palestine's first ever Asian Cup goal. But they were already out of the tournament. Their last game was a 0–2 loss to Iraq.

Palestine had two big wins, 6–0, against Malaysia during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. These results, along with ties against Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, brought Palestine close to qualifying for the next round. However, they were eliminated after losing 2–0 to the UAE. Five days later, they won their final World Cup qualification match at home 7–0 against Timor-Leste.

Even though they were out of the World Cup, Palestine moved on to the third round of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification. They were in a group with Oman, the Maldives, and Bhutan. Palestine finished second in the group with five wins and one loss. This meant they qualified for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup for the first time through regular qualification. In February 2018, Palestine reached their best ever FIFA ranking of 73rd. This was thanks to a 12-match unbeaten streak.

Palestine won the 2018 Bangabandhu Cup. They beat Tajikistan 2–0 and Nepal 1–0. In the semi-final, Palestine beat Bangladesh 2–0. In the final, they played Tajikistan again. The game ended 0–0, and Palestine won 4–3 in a penalty shootout.

Palestine started their 2019 AFC Asian Cup journey with a 0–0 draw against Syria. They then faced Australia and lost 0–3. In their last group game, Palestine needed to win against Jordan. The match ended in a 0–0 draw, and Palestine was eliminated.

Between July and August 2019, Palestine played in the 2019 WAFF Championship. They finished second in their group but did not reach the final.

Palestine started their 2022 World Cup qualification with a historic 2–0 win over Uzbekistan. Five days later, they lost 2–1 to Singapore. On October 15, 2019, Palestine drew 0–0 with Saudi Arabia. This was a significant moment as Saudi Arabia had previously avoided playing in the West Bank. After this, the team lost to Yemen and Uzbekistan, which made it harder to reach the final round.

In June 2022, Palestine qualified for their third straight AFC Asian Cup finals. They won all three games against Mongolia, Yemen, and the Philippines.

On January 23, 2024, Palestine made history. They won their first ever Asian Cup match, beating Hong Kong 3–0. This win also meant they qualified for the Asian Cup knockout stage for the first time. They then lost 1–2 to the host team, Qatar, in the Round of 16.

On June 7, 2024, Palestine qualified for the Third Round of FIFA World Cup qualification for the first time. They drew 0–0 against Lebanon. This result also qualified them for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, their fourth time in a row.

Challenges for the Team

The Palestinian Football Association faces challenges in training and playing games. These challenges are due to the situation in the region.

Because of travel rules, it can be hard for players from the West Bank and Gaza Strip to get permission to travel. This means many players on the team come from other countries where Palestinians live, like Chile and the United States. Sometimes, players or even the whole team cannot travel to play matches. For example, in November 2006, players from the West Bank and Gaza Strip were not allowed to leave.

In October 2007, a key World Cup qualifier between Palestine and Singapore could not be played. This was because the Palestinian team could not get travel permission. FIFA decided not to reschedule the match, and Singapore was given a 3–0 win. In May 2008, the team was not allowed to travel for the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup.

Palestinian sports facilities, like the Palestine Stadium, have also been damaged.

In 2023, the team had to withdraw from the Merdeka Tournament in Malaysia. Later that year, all 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification home matches had to be played in other countries. This was due to the ongoing situation. Countries like Kuwait and Qatar hosted their games.
