The United Arab Emirates national football team (Template:Lang-ar) represents the United Arab Emirates in association football and is controlled by the United Arab Emirates Football Association, the governing body for football in United Arab Emirates. United Arab Emirates' home ground is Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The team is popularly known as Al-Abyad (The Whites).

It has made one World Cup appearance, in 1990 in Italy, but lost all three of its games, to Colombia, West Germany, and Yugoslavia. Two years later the UAE took fourth place in the 1992 Asian Cup, and runner-up in 1996. In both tournaments their final match was lost on penalty kicks. In 2007 the UAE beat Oman 1–0 to win the Gulf Cup for the first time in their history.

Controversy

In October 2012 the Asian Football Confederation official website published an article about the UAE national team's bid to qualify for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, in which the team was referred to as the "Sand Monkeys." This was the indirect result of vandalism of the Misplaced Pages article on the team, and the AFC was forced to apologise for what was perceived as a racist slur.
