Israel National Football Team

Head coach: Dror Kashtan
Captain: Yossi Benayoun
Top scorer: Mordechai Spiegler
FIFA ranking: 34

The Israel National Football Team has participated in four different continents: Asia, Africa, South America and Oceania in the Football World Cup qualifiers, before settling in Europe as a member of UEFA. The Israel Football Association (IFA) was founded under the name Palestine Football Association in 1928, 20 years before the establishment of the state of Israel during the Mandate for Palestine. PFA was accepted as a full member of FIFA in 1929. PFA first dealt with local leagues, but later also managed the national team that was created to participate in the World Cup qualifications (participated in 1934 and 1938 as Palestine/Eretz Yisrael national team).

The Israeli side has only appeared in one World Cup (1970).
