The Yemeni national soccer team is the national team of Yemen .

When Yemen was divided into the states of North and South Yemen , there were two national teams. After the reunification of the two states in 1990, the Yemeni national soccer team succeeded the North Yemeni national soccer team , and the South Yemeni national soccer team was dissolved.
