Yemen are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Yemen made their Asian Cup debut as a unified nation in 2019 and lost all three group matches. They have since qualified for the 2027 edition: a 2-0 win over Lebanon on 4 June 2026 took them to the top of qualifying Group B with 14 points. Their next finals group includes Korea Republic, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam; qualification does not mean those future finals have already been played.
