The Israel National Football Team is the national football team of Israel and is controlled by the Israel Football Association.
Israel has taken part in five different continents: Asia, Africa, South America, Europe and Oceania in the Football World Cup qualifiers, before settling in Europe as a member of UEFA in 1994. The Israel Football Association (IFA) was founded under the name Palestine Football Association in 1928, 20 years before the establishment of the state of Israel during the Mandate for Palestine. PFA was accepted as a full member of FIFA in 1929. PFA first dealt with local leagues, but later also managed the national team that was created to participate in the World Cup qualifications (participated in 1934 and 1938 as Palestine/Eretz Yisrael national team).
The Israeli side qualified for their only FIFA World Cup to date in 1970.
