Overall team records

In this ranking 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.{{Cite web|title=General stats for all teams – Arab Nations Cup|url=http://www.mundial11.com/en/competition-teams-st/139|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180515184548/http://www.mundial11.com/en/competition-teams-st/139|archive-date=15 May 2018|access-date=28 April 2021|website=Mundial 11}}
