The Syria national women's football team (Arabic: منتخب سوريا لكرة القدم للسيدات) is the national women's football team of Syria.[4] The team was established in 2005, and is controlled by the Syrian Football Association (SFA), the governing body for football in Syria. Whilst the team has yet to qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup, or the AFC Women's Asian Cup, their best achievement was when they finished third in the 2005 and 2022 editions of the West Asian Football Federation Women's Championship.[5][6]
