The Yemen national football team (Arabic: منتخب الْيَمَن لِكُرَّةُ الْقَدَم) plays for Yemen in international men's football games. The Yemen Football Association manages the team.

Before 1990, Yemen was split into North Yemen and South Yemen. Each had its own football team. The current Yemen national team carries on the history and records of the North Yemen team.

Even though Yemen has many people, it hasn't had as much football success as some smaller countries. After North and South Yemen joined together in 1990, the team only qualified for the AFC Asian Cup once.

History of Yemen Football

Early Games (1965–1966)

A team from the Sultanate of Lahej played its first games in 1965. They lost both matches badly. Around the same time, North Yemen played its first game in April 1966. They lost 4–1 to Syria and then had even bigger losses. They finished last in their group.

Return to Play (1984–1989)

After a long break of 18 years, North Yemen returned to play in 1984. They tried to qualify for the 1984 AFC Asian Cup. All their matches were in Calcutta, India. They lost all four games and finished last in their group.

North Yemen then tried to qualify for the 1986 FIFA World Cup. They played against Syria and Kuwait. They lost all their games, scoring only one goal.

In August 1985, North Yemen played in the 1985 Arab Games. They lost to Saudi Arabia and Algeria. But they won their first-ever game against the UAE with a score of 2–1.

Yemen Unites (1990s)

In 1990, North and South Yemen became one country. This meant their football teams also joined together. To show they were united, the team's captains took turns leading the team.

Their first big challenge as a united team was trying to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. They lost three games but managed to draw twice and win two games. They finished third in their group, which ended their first World Cup journey.

For the 1996 AFC Asian Cup, Yemen struggled again. They lost badly to Saudi Arabia. Their only win was a close 1–0 victory against Kyrgyzstan.

Things started to look a bit better when they tried to qualify for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. They finished second in their group, above Indonesia and Cambodia. This gave the team and fans hope for the future.

New Millennium Challenges (2000s)

Yemen began the 2000s by trying to qualify for the 2000 AFC Asian Cup. They won 3–0 against Nepal. They also had a huge 11–2 win against Bhutan. They finished third in their group.

In 2001, Yemen almost made it to the second round of the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. They were very close to the UAE in points. But they lost both games against the UAE, which stopped them from moving forward.

Yemen also played in the 2002 Arab Cup, their first time since 1966. They drew with Saudi Arabia but lost their other games.

The team continued to face tough challenges in the 2004 AFC Asian Cup and the Arabian Gulf Cup tournaments. They often finished last or near last in these competitions.

For the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Yemen finished last in their group. They had one win, two draws, and three losses. They were also knocked out of the 2007 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, only winning their two games against India.

Recent Years (2010s)

Yemen's journey to the 2010 FIFA World Cup was short. They won against Maldives in the first round. But they lost to Thailand in the second round and were knocked out. This was the first time they didn't reach the group stages of a World Cup qualifier.

In 2010, Yemen hosted the 20th Arabian Gulf Cup for the first time. They lost all their games in the group stage.

For the 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, Yemen had two wins, one draw, and three losses. They played well against Japan, losing by only one goal in their last game.

Yemen played in the 2012 Arab Cup and finished third in their group. In 2013, they had their worst performance in the 21st Arabian Gulf Cup, losing all three games without scoring any goals.

Their 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification was also disappointing. They lost to Iraq and were knocked out. Due to civil unrest in Yemen, their home game was played in the United Arab Emirates.

In December 2013, Yemen's FIFA ranking dropped to its lowest ever, 179th. They tried to improve by hiring new coaches, but the team's ranking fell even further to 186th.

First Appearance at the 2019 AFC Asian Cup

The civil war started during the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification. Many players and staff had to leave Yemen. Despite this, Yemen managed to beat Pakistan and the Philippines.

In the 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification, Yemen made history. They beat Tajikistan and had four draws. With help from the Philippines, Yemen finally qualified for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup for the first time as a united country!

Group F Performance

2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification – third round

In their first Asian Cup, Yemen was in a tough group with Iraq, Iran, and Vietnam. They played against Iran, a strong team that had been in the World Cup. Yemen played well at first but lost 0–5. They then lost 0–3 to Iraq and 0–2 to Vietnam. Yemen finished last in their group with no goals and no points.

Yemen also played in the 2019 WAFF Championship. They were eliminated from the group stage but finished third, above Lebanon and Syria. In the 24th Arabian Gulf Cup, they again scored no goals and lost most games, but managed a 0–0 draw against Iraq.

Yemen played in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round. They were in a group with Uzbekistan, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and Palestine. They earned two draws, including an impressive 2–2 draw against strong Saudi Arabia. They also beat Palestine 1–0. However, they lost other games and did not qualify.

Yemen started their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification games in Saudi Arabia because of the ongoing civil war in Yemen. On October 12, 2023, Yemen won 3–0 against Sri Lanka.

Yemen was drawn into Group B for the final round of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualification. Their opponents are Lebanon, Bhutan, and Brunei. On December 28, 2024, Yemen achieved their first-ever win in the Arabian Gulf Cup, beating Bahrain 2–1 in the 26th edition.
