HistoryEdit

Aden (1965)Edit

Template:Anchor The first international tournament in South Yemen was the Football at the 1965 Pan Arab Games, which at the time was the State of Aden in the Federation of South Arabia. The tournament was hosted in United Arab Republic where it was eliminated on the group stage, losing 1–0 to Palestine, 14–0 to United Arab Republic being his biggest defeat, 6–0 to Iraq and 4–3 to Lebanon.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

South Yemen (1967–1990)Edit

The first participation of the newly independent, South Yemen was in the 1972 Palestine Cup of Nations, where in their group, they lost 0–1 against Syria, beat Palestine and Qatar, both 2–1, and in the last round, they lost against Algeria by 1–4.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

South Yemen has only played in the AFC Asian Cup since the 1976 edition, qualifying automatically, due to the other teams having given up playing in the knockout tournament, with the final tournament being held in Iran. They were placed in Group B with the hosts Iran and Iraq. South Yemen lost to Iraq 0–1 and then Iran 0–8 in the group stage.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

South Yemen competed in qualification for the only time for the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. They were placed in Group 4 of Zone A in the first round against Iran and Bahrain. Iran was disqualified before the games were played, due to refusal to move their games to neutral grounds away from the Iran–Iraq War. South Yemen hosted Bahrain on 12 March 1985 and lost 4–1 in Mortayer Yard (now 22 May Stadium), Aden. On 12 April they drew, 3–3, at the Bahrain National Stadium in Manama after leading 3–1.<ref name="WCQ1986">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }} Retrieved on 27 December 2022</ref> This saw Bahrain advance through.
