The Yemen national football team (Arabic: منتخب الْيَمَن الْوَطَنِيُّ لِكُرَّةُ الْقَدَم) represents Yemen in men's international football and is administered by the Yemen Football Association.
When Yemen was split into North and South, two national teams existed. The current Yemeni national team inherits the records of North Yemen.
Despite being the 5th most populated country in the Middle East, Yemen has never achieved the same success as those with much smaller populations, only qualifying for the AFC Asian Cup once after unification in 1990.
