The Syria women's national handball team is the national team of Syria. It is governed by the Syrian Arab Handball Federation and takes part in international handball competitions.[1]

History

The team first played at the 1987 Asian Championships.

After winning over Jordan and advancing from the group, they lost in the semifinals of the tournament with South Korea and then in the bronze medal match with Japan. Fourth place in the tournament is the biggest success of women's handball in Syria.

The team, shortly after its success at the Asian Championships, took fourth place at the home Mediterranean Games in Latakia,[2] and in 1992 was bronze at the Pan-Arab Games in Damascus.

In 2017, after a long unsuccessful period, they won bronze medals at the West Asian Championships.[3]

After checking out of several teams, they qualified for the 2021 Asian Championships in Amman, Jordan.[4]
