Syria national team

The Syria national football team, nicknamed "the Eagles of Qasioun," is one of the teams that has earned the most sympathy and admiration from Arab and Asian football fans over the past decade, thanks to a remarkable story of resilience in which the players kept representing their country with honor despite all the extraordinary difficult circumstances Syria went through. The "Eagles of Qasioun" managed to maintain a regular presence on the continental stage even though they were forced to play their "home" matches on neutral soil, far from Damascus, for many years — making every international appearance by the Syrian national team carry meaning that goes far beyond the pitch.

The Syrian national team wrote one of the most emotionally charged chapters in Asian football history when it came agonizingly close to a first-ever historic qualification for the 2018 World Cup, reaching the continental play-off against Australia and drawing 1-1 in the first leg in neutral Malacca, before Australia sealed qualification with a thrilling 2-1 extra-time win in the second leg in Sydney — a story still etched in the memory of Arab football fans as one of the closest and most emotionally stirring qualification attempts in the history of Asian football.

This legacy is carried today by a generation led by current captain Omar Khribin and other players such as Mahmoud Al-Mawas, Mahmoud Al-Aswad, and the ever-brilliant goalkeeper Ahmad Madaniyah, guided by Spanish coach José Luis Lana, who took charge in August 2024. The upcoming period holds an exceptional milestone for the "Eagles of Qasioun," following their official qualification for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia — the eighth time in the team's history — a participation that carries great hopes of putting in an outstanding performance against the continent's giants.

History of the Syria National Team

The Syrian Arab Football Federation was founded in 1936 and joined FIFA in 1937, making it one of the region's most established federations and one of the founding members of the Arab Football Federation, before later joining the umbrella of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). The Syrian national team played its first official international match on November 20, 1949, against Turkey in Ankara, which it lost heavily 7-0, marking the start of a journey that has since spanned decades of continental and Arab participations.

In terms of the Asian Cup, the Syrian national team took part in the continental tournament for the first time in 1980, and participated again in the 1984, 1988, and 1996 editions, without getting past the group stage in any of them. After a long absence, the "Eagles of Qasioun" returned to qualify for the 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar following a perfect qualifying campaign without a single loss, achieving a notable win over Saudi Arabia along the way, before again bowing out at the group stage. The team missed out on the 2015 edition after a difficult qualifying campaign, before returning once again to the 2019 Asian Cup finals following a dual qualifying campaign that also counted toward 2018 World Cup qualification.

That dual qualifying campaign formed the most notable chapter in modern Syrian football history, when a talented young generation featuring names such as Omar Khribin, Mahmoud Al-Mawas, Ibrahim Alma, Ahmad Al-Salih, and Moayad Ajan led the "Eagles of Qasioun" to a strong position in a tough group featuring Iran, South Korea, Qatar, China, and Uzbekistan, securing the team's first-ever spot in the Asian play-off for World Cup 2018 qualification. In it, the "Eagles of Qasioun" faced Australia across two thrilling matches: a 1-1 draw in the first leg in neutral Malacca, Malaysia, which hosted Syria's "home" match, before the second leg in Sydney, where Omar Al-Somah put Syria ahead early in the 6th minute, only for Tim Cahill to equalize quickly in the 13th minute, before Cahill himself sealed qualification for Australia with an extra-time goal in the 109th minute (a 2-1 second-leg result, and 3-2 on aggregate) — in a match considered one of the most emotionally powerful and dramatic moments in Asian football history, given the extraordinarily difficult circumstances the players were going through at the time.

It's worth noting that Syria reached the round of 16 at the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar, having come through as one of the best four third-placed teams from the group stage, before bowing out of the competition following a penalty-shootout defeat to Iran after a 1-1 draw through normal and extra time.

Achievements of the Syria National Team

The "Eagles of Qasioun" hold a number of important achievements and milestones in their footballing journey:

• Qualifying for the 2027 Asian Cup: the eighth time in the team's history, following a strong qualifying campaign that saw them top their group
• Reaching the Arab Cup final twice (1985 and 2002): without managing to claim the title in either, alongside a consistent and regular presence in this major Arab tournament, most recently the 2025 edition in Qatar under coach José Luis Lana
