About Palestine National Football Team

The Palestine national football team controlled by the Palestinian Football Association, represents Palestine in association football. The team is governed by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) at the continental level and FIFA worldwide.

In 1928 a football federation was founded in Mandatory Palestine. While a team from the Arab residents of Palestine played its first match in 1953, the national team was recognized by FIFA in 1998, following the creation of the Palestinian National Authority. The same year, Palestine played its first FIFA-recognized match in a 3–1 loss to Lebanon in a friendly.

The team won the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup, thanks to a 1-0 victory over the Philippines in the final. Their victory in the competition qualified them for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, marking their first appearance in the competition. Palestine also qualified for the next edition of the Asian Cup in 2019, their first regular qualification. They have yet to qualify for the World Cup.
