The Saudi Arabia women's national football team (Arabic: المنتخب السعودي لكرة القدم للسيدات) is the official women's national football team of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The team is controlled by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF), the governing body for football in Saudi Arabia.
Colloquially called "the Green Falcons", Saudi Arabia played their first match in 2022 against the Seychelles in a 2–0 win in a friendly tournament in the Maldives.
See main article: Women's football in Saudi Arabia.
Due to the influence of religious leaders in Saudi Arabia, active opposition of political leaders and sport administrators, and systematic discrimination against women's sport, a women's national team could not exist for a long time.[1] The creation of a FIFA-recognised women's national team was banned by law in 2008.[2] Systemic discrimination remained intact despite limited reforms, until the death of King Abdullah in 2015.[3]
With King Salman's ascension to the throne in 2015, talks about football reforms escalated. However, his son Mohammed bin Salman was the first to spearhead the reforms, including to women's football.[4] Saudi Arabia allowed women to attend football games since 2017, the first step for a future creation of a women's football team.[5]
In December 2019, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) organised the first unofficial women's competition in the Jeddah area.[6] An official nationwide tournament, the amateur Saudi Women's Football League, was launched in February 2020, concentrated in three big cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.[7] Following the creation of the league, calls for a creation of a women's national team increased.[8]
On 11 August 2021, the SAFF appointed Monika Staab as head coach of the newly established women's national team.[9] Saudi Arabia played their first games in February 2022, taking part in a friendly tournament in Malé, Maldives.[10] They debuted on 20 February, beating Seychelles in a 2–0 win.[11] Following the successful debut, Lamia Bin Bahian, a board member of the SAFF, revealed a long-term plan to allow the team to participate in the first FIFA Women's World Cup in the next ten years, with the aim to become a dominant force in the Gulf, West Asia, and Asian level.[12]
