Oman national football team

The Oman national football team has made notable efforts in international competitions but has not qualified for the FIFA World Cup. Their best performance in the Asian Cup was reaching the quarterfinals in 2019. The team has shown improvement over the years, and their participation in various qualifiers and tournaments reflects their growing competitiveness in regional football.

The mid-1990s under the OFA chairmanship of Sheikh Saif bin Hashil Al-Maskary saw Oman achieve positive results on the Asian stage. Former Omani captain, Hani Al-Dhabit was awarded the RSSSF 2001 World Top Scorer, with 22 goals;{{Cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/iffhs-scor.html |title=– Al-Dhabit scored 22 goals in 2001 |access-date=5 January 2010 |archive-date=17 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170817121301/http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/iffhs-scor.html#01w |url-status=live }} the most goals scored by a player who won the World Top Scorer award and being the third Arab and the first Omani to win the award.[http://forum.montadayatbh.net/showthread.php?t=7576 – 3rd Arab to receive the award, and first Omani.] {{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
