The '''Israel national football team''' ({{langx|he|נבחרת ישראל בכדורגל|{{Italics correction|Nivḥeret Yīsrāʾēl BeḴaduregel}}}}) represents [[Israel]] in men's international [[Association football|football]], and is governed by the [[Israel Football Association]]. They have been members of the European Confederation [[UEFA]] since 1994.

Israel qualified for the [[FIFA World Cup]] for the first time in [[1970 FIFA World Cup|1970]]. They also won the [[1964 AFC Asian Cup]], before a [[#Muslim and Arab countries boycotting Israel|forced relocation to UEFA]].

==History==
{{main|History of the Israel national football team|Mandatory Palestine national football team}}

=== Early history ===
Football has a long tradition in [[Sports in Israel|Israel]]. The game was originally introduced during the time of the [[Ottoman Empire]]. The Palestine Football Association was formed in August 1928, and joined [[FIFA]] in June 1929, but at the time the association was made up of Arab and Jewish clubs as well as clubs of British policemen and soldiers serving in the region during the British Mandate. The [[Mandatory Palestine national football team]] made its debut against [[Egypt national football team|Cairo (''Egypt'')]] in [[1934 FIFA World Cup qualification]], losing 0–5 in [[Cairo]], [[Egypt]]. The team played five international matches, including [[1940 Mandatory Palestine v Lebanon football match|a friendly match]] against [[Lebanon national football team|Lebanon]] that Palestine won 1–5; until the British Mandate for Palestine national team was dissolved. During these five games, the national team fielded only [[Jewish]] players. Three anthems were played before each match: the [[UK|British]] "[[God Save the King]]", the Jewish (and future [[Israel]]i) "[[Hatikvah|HaTikvah]]", and the opposing team's anthem.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/pales-intres-det.html|title=Palestine – International Results – Details|access-date=20 July 2013|first=Hassanin|website=[[RSSSF]]|last=Mubarak|archive-date=13 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221013140042/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/pales-intres-det.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1948 the team became the national football team of  Israel.<ref>{{Cite web|date=28 June 2011|title=Statistical Kit: Preliminary Draw for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil|url=https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/52463a2cc01d135/original/c91tgtfetbsmneex1vbc-pdf.pdf|access-date=21 December 2020|website=[[FIFA|FIFA.com]]|page=53|quote=A Jewish delegation from Palestine (then a British mandate) played at the qualifying games for 1934 & 1938.

The game was won by the US 1–3, and in the 20th minute of the game [[Shmuel Ben-Dror]] scored the first goal after the creation of the State of Israel.

===Asian Football Confederation membership===

====Muslim and Arab countries boycotting Israel====
Israel was one of the founding members of the [[Asian Football Confederation]] (AFC) following its independence in 1948.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.myfootballfacts.com/Site-Map-Israel-Football-Facts-and-Stats.html|title=Site-Map-Israel-Football-Facts—Stats|access-date=19 May 2016|archive-date=6 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190506201825/http://www.myfootballfacts.com/Site-Map-Israel-Football-Facts-and-Stats.html|url-status=live}}</ref> After the [[1974 Asian Games]] in [[Iran]], and Israel's 0–1 tense loss to Iran in the finals,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/en/features-and-interviews/31318-bayati-recalls-irans-1968-afc-asian-cup-triumph|title=Bayati recalls Iran's tense win over Israel|access-date=1 April 2021|archive-date=7 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200407070402/https://www.the-afc.com/en/features-and-interviews/31318-bayati-recalls-irans-1968-afc-asian-cup-triumph|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Kuwait]] and other [[Muslim countries|Muslim]] and [[Arab countries]] refused to play them. Following this, Israel was expelled from the confederation. It tried to join continental bodies such as the [[Oceania Football Confederation|OFC]] (Oceania), before eventually joining [[UEFA]] (Europe).<ref name="israel">{{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/feb/27/worldcup2010 | location=London | work=The Guardian | first=James | last=Montague | title=Time is right for Israel to return to its Asian roots | date=February 27, 2008 | access-date=1 April 2021 | archive-date=23 October 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171023230949/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/feb/27/worldcup2010 | url-status=live }}</ref>

====Israel's last years in the AFC====
Israel competed at the AFC between 1954 and 1974. Due to the [[Arab League boycott of Israel]], several [[Muslim]] countries refused to compete against Israel. The political situation culminated in Israel winning the [[1958 FIFA World Cup qualification|1958 World Cup qualifying stage for Asia and Africa]] without playing a single game, forcing FIFA to schedule a playoff between Israel and [[Wales national football team|Wales]] to ensure the team did not qualify without playing at least one game (which Wales won).

Israel hosted and won the [[1964 AFC Asian Cup]].

In 1968, Israel went to its first [[1968 Summer Olympics|Olympic Games]] and lost to [[Bulgaria national football team|Bulgaria]] in the quarterfinals.

[[File:Israeli National Team 1970.jpg|thumb|right|180px|1970's Israel national team at the [[Bloomfield Stadium]] of [[Tel Aviv]], Israel]]
In 1969, Israel qualified for its first and only [[1970 FIFA World Cup|FIFA World Cup]], via Asia/Oceania. Israel earned two points after a 1–1 draw with [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]], a 0–0 draw with eventual finalist [[Italy national football team|Italy]], and a 0–2 loss to [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]]. The goal against Sweden, scored by [[Mordechai Spiegler]], is Israel's only FIFA World Cup goal to date.

In 1974, Israel was excluded from AFC competitions, after  [[Kuwait]] and other [[Muslim world|Muslim]] and [[Arab countries]] refused to play against it.  The proposal was adopted by a vote of 17 to 13 with 6 abstentions.<ref>{{cite news |title=Aust-Asian bid fails |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=RNRYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=HOUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4321%2C5571494 |access-date=2014-07-10 |work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=1974-09-16 |page=11 |archive-date=9 May 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160509162442/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=RNRYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=HOUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4321,5571494 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="israel"/> The vote coincided with the 1974 Asian Games, where the [[Football at the 1974 Asian Games|football competition]] was marred by the refusal of both [[North Korea national football team|North Korea]]<ref>{{cite news |last1=Rahman |first1=Mansoor |title='Visibles' win without any kick... |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=dIYjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Cn4FAAAAIBAJ&pg=1154%2C1546654 |access-date=2014-07-10 |work=[[New Straits Times]] |date=1974-09-14 |page=22 |archive-date=9 May 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160509071908/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=dIYjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Cn4FAAAAIBAJ&pg=1154%2C1546654 |url-status=live }}</ref> and [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]] to play second-round matches against Israel.

In 1976, Israel went to its second [[1976 Summer Olympics|Olympic Games]] and lost in the quarterfinals again, this time against [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]]. In [[1974 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC and OFC)|1973]] and [[1978 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC and OFC)|1977]], Israel participated in the World Cup qualification tournament which included teams from both Asia and Oceania, but failed to qualify.

===Years in exile===

====First steps in UEFA====
During the early 1980s, Israel played the majority of its matches against [[UEFA]] (Europe) teams, and competed in the European stage of [[1982 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)|qualification for the 1982 FIFA World Cup]].

[[File:Israel v New Zealand - Ramat Gan, 1989 - Ronny Rosenthal.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ronny Rosenthal]] playing for Israel at the [[1990 FIFA World Cup qualification (OFC)|1990 FIFA World Cup qualification (Oceania)]] against [[New Zealand men's national football team|New Zealand]]]]

====First steps in OFC====
For the next two tournaments, Israel entered [[Oceania Football Confederation|Oceania]]'s (OFC) qualification stage.

In 1989, Israel won the [[1990 FIFA World Cup qualification – OFC second round|OFC second round]] (Oceania) by finishing above both [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] and [[New Zealand men's national football team|New Zealand]]. As a result, Israel made it to the [[1990 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL–OFC play-off)|CONMEBOL–OFC play-offs]] to represent Oceania and play against [[CONMEBOL]]'s (South America) [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]] for the 1990 World Cup, but lost (1–0, 0–0).

===UEFA membership===
In 1991, Israeli clubs began participating in European club competitions of [[UEFA]], and Israel returned to the European leg of World Cup qualifying in 1992. In 1994, Israel received full UEFA membership, 20 years after it had left Asia. Within Europe, Israel has been a relatively minor nation, though with some successes, notably winning 3–2 in Paris against [[France national football team|France]] in 1993, and 5–0 against [[Austria national football team|Austria]] in 1999. That year, Israel made it to the [[UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying play-offs]], but was beaten by [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]].

Israel came close to advancing to the playoff stage in [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification&nbsp;– UEFA Group 4|their 2006 World Cup qualifying group]], finishing third, behind France, and tied on points with [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]], which also remained unbeaten in 10 matches after 4 wins and 6 draws. The Swiss had a better goal difference, though, and advanced to the [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA play-off)|qualification play-off]]. Coach [[Avram Grant]] announced his resignation on 26 October 2005. After the end of his contract, he was succeeded by [[Dror Kashtan]].

In [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying]], Israel came very close to qualifying for the final tournament, but finished fourth in [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group E|Group E]], just one point behind second-placed [[Russia national football team|Russia]], who qualified directly with [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]], and level on 23 points with [[England national football team|England]], who also failed to advance. The 4–3 home loss to Croatia was the first loss after 13 consecutive official games and 9 home games without a loss.

In [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification]], Israel again came in fourth, behind Switzerland, [[Greece national football team|Greece]], and [[Latvia national football team|Latvia]]. For the [[UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying]] campaign, Kashtan was replaced as coach by Frenchman [[Luis Fernández]] but Israel failed to qualify again, finishing third behind Greece and Croatia.

The continued presence of the Israeli Football Association in UEFA was a precedent cited by [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] to justify its transfer from the [[Oceania Football Confederation]] to the [[Asian Football Confederation]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.sky.com/story/why-does-israels-football-team-play-in-europe-10359083|title=Why Does Israel's Football Team Play In Europe?|last=Williams|first=Richard|date=19 May 2015|publisher=[[Sky News]]|access-date=8 August 2016|archive-date=24 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180624084031/https://news.sky.com/story/why-does-israels-football-team-play-in-europe-10359083|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2018, [[Willi Ruttensteiner]] was appointed as technical director. A national football academy was founded and three supporting development centers were established.<ref>[https://www.derstandard.at/story/2000133170699/willi-ruttensteiner-ist-nicht-mehr-israel-teamchef Willi Ruttensteiner ist nicht mehr Teamchef von Israel] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220303140412/https://www.derstandard.at/story/2000133170699/willi-ruttensteiner-ist-nicht-mehr-israel-teamchef |date=3 March 2022 }}, der Standard, 2022-02-07.</ref>

Israel subsequently failed to qualify for any World Cup or European Championship finals, and performed inconsistently during the qualifying phases in which they took part, alternating between the good and the not-so-good. However, in the [[UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying|qualifiers for Euro 2020]], they came very close to making history. Despite finishing 5th and penultimate in their particularly homogeneous [[UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying Group G|qualifying group]], Israel earned the right to play in the [[UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying play-offs|play-offs]] thanks to their position in the [[2018–19 UEFA Nations League C#Group 1|2018-2019 edition of the Nations League]]. They first had to play in the [[UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying play-offs#Semi-finals_3|semi-final of the Path C play-off]] in [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] to earn the right to play in the final of the play-off in [[Serbia national football team|Serbia]], which defeated [[Norway national football team|Norway]] away in extra time. The game was tight, and the Israelis were finally eliminated in a penalty shoot-out after a goalless draw in regulation time and extra time (0–0, 3:5), [[Eran Zahavi]] having missed the first Israeli shot.

Promoted to [[2020–21 UEFA Nations League B#Group 2|League B for the 2020-2021 edition of the Nations League]] without having finished top of their group in the previous edition, thanks to the change of format subsequently decided by UEFA, Israel ensured their survival by finishing 3rd and penultimate in their group, with a balanced record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. At the [[2022–23 UEFA Nations League B#Group 2|2022-2023 Nations League]], Israel finished top of its 3-team group (Russia, which should have taken part, was excluded from European and international competitions due to its [[Russian invasion of Ukraine|aggression against Ukraine]]), thanks to 2 wins over [[Albania national football team|Albania]] (2–1 in both legs) and 2 draws against [[Iceland national football team|Iceland]] (2–2 on each occasion), synonymous with promotion to [[2024–25 UEFA Nations League A|League A]] for the [[2024–25 UEFA Nations League|2024-2025 edition]].

In the [[UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying|Euro 2024 qualifiers]], Israel was again eliminated at the play-off stage, as in the previous edition. Indeed, they finished 3rd in their [[UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Group I|qualifying group]] and saw their place in the play-offs assured thanks to their status as group winners at the 2022-2023 Nations League. Against Iceland in the [[UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying play-offs#Semi-finals_2|semi-finals of the play-offs for Path B]], they opened the scoring with Eran Zahavi's 31st-minute penalty, but failed to hold on to their advantage and were soundly beaten (1–4). The turning points of the match were [[Roy Revivo]]'s 73rd-minute red card for a crude foul, and Eran Zahavi's penalty miss 7 minutes after the red card, when the score was 1–2.

==Home stadium==

The first home game of the Israel national football team was at [[Palms Ground]] on 6 April 1934 against [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] in a [[1934 FIFA World Cup qualification#Group 12|1934 World Cup qualifier]]. Prior to the formation of Israel, they also played at the [[Maccabi Ground, Tel Aviv|Maccabi Ground]] for the [[1938 FIFA World Cup qualification Group 6|1938 FIFA World Cup qualifiers]] and [[Maccabiah Stadium]]. The first national team to represent the newly formed [[State of Israel]] back in 1948, had played at the [[Ramat Gan Stadium]] as part of [[1954 FIFA World Cup qualification Group 10|1954 FIFA World Cup qualification]], in front of 55,000 spectators. The Ramat Gan Stadium would remain Israel's home stadium until 2013.

Since the construction of [[Sammy Ofer Stadium]] in the city of [[Haifa]], [[Teddy Stadium]] in the city of [[Jerusalem]], [[Turner Stadium]] in the city of [[Beersheba|Be'er Sheva]], [[Netanya Stadium]] in the city of [[Netanya]] and [[Bloomfield Stadium]] in the city of [[Tel Aviv]] – the Israel national team has rotated their official home matches between the latter five.

During the [[Gaza war]], Israel played most of their home matches in [[Hungary]].
