TheSyria national women's football team (Arabic:منتخب سوريا لكرة القدم للسيدات) is the nationalwomen's football team ofSyria.^[4] The team was established in 2005, and is controlled by theSyrian Football Association (SFA), the governing body forfootball in Syria. Whilst the team has yet to qualify for theFIFA Women's World Cup, or theAFC Women's Asian Cup, their best achievement was when they finished third in the2005 and2022 editions of theWest Asian Football Federation Women's Championship.^[5][6]

Women's football began to develop in Syria around 1950, when the first women's football team in theLevant and the Middle East was established inAleppo. Despite this, a women's football league or national team was not established until the beginning of the 21st century.

Everything changed only in 2005 when the national team was formed as one of the first in theWAFF to play its first ever match in the2005 West Asia Championship where the team lost 5–0 to theIran selection on 23 September. The competition itself was followed by a 4–0 win overPalestine, as well as a 2–1 win overBahrain. Third place was achieved with six points.^[7] At the2007 edition, the team did not get any points in the matches against Iran,Jordan andLebanon and finished in fourth place.^[8]

At the2010 WAFF Women's Championship they did not participate. In October 2010, the team competed at the2010 Arabia Women's Cup. In Group A they finished third with three points. The three points came from a 12–0 win overQatar, which was their highest international win.^[9]

The next participation in theWest Asia Championship was in the following year2011, where the team in Group B scored only one goal and no points and finished last again.^[10]

The team took part in the2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualification for theWomen's Asian Cup.^[11] In group D of a qualifying tournament inVietnam in April 2017, not a single win could be achieved either. They lost 1–0 toSingapore. Losses toVietnam,Myanmar andIran followed, each by at least eleven goals.^[12]

In 2021, theSyrian Football Association decided to renew and develop the women's national team. The manager of the national team and head of the women's section of the SFA was former football player Nancy Muammar, and the coach of the national team was appointed Salim Jablawi.^[13]

After home training camps, the team led by captain Elham Kord Oghlan played preparatory matches againstLebanon and theUAE. This preparation was followed by participation in the2022 WAFF Women's Championship held inJordan. In the first match, they faced a strongJordan, losing 0–4, followed by a 1–1 draw withPalestine (goal scored by Aysha Hammou) and a 2–5 loss to Lebanon (goals scored by Gharib and Aya Mohammad).^[6] Despite two losses, the team took home bronze medals from Amman, as the final standings were decided by the number of goals scored, equaling the historic success in 2005.

Syria women's national football team has been known and nicknamed as "NosourQasioun (Qasioun Eagles)".

Syria women's national football team wears green shirts with green shorts and green socks, following the tradition of theSyria men's team. The current change kit is all white. Like all SFA squads, the women's national team is supplied byJako, which had provided and specifically designed current female football jersey since 2022.^[14]
