Zjednoczone Emiraty Arabskie

The United Arab Emirates national football team, known as the Whites, is governed by the UAE Football Association, founded in 1971. The UAE's most significant achievement was qualifying for the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, their only World Cup appearance to date. The team plays home matches at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium and other venues across the Emirates. The UAE has been a regular participant in the AFC Asian Cup and hosted the tournament in 1996, reaching the semi-finals. Their domestic league, the UAE Pro League, has attracted numerous high-profile international players. The federation has invested heavily in youth development, and Emirati football continues to grow. Key figures include goalkeeper Majed Nasser and various naturalized players who have boosted the squad's quality in recent years.
