History

Debut

Even though the UAE is the most modern Arab country in the middle east, known for its tourism, commercial and financial centers, and home to the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa, the women's and girls soccer scene remains small. It took the UAE hosting the FIFA Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi in 2009, when Barcelona won its first title in club history, for women's soccer to enter the national conversation in earnest.

During the tournament, it was hard to be in the UAE and miss a game; televisions everywhere aired the matches, people talked about goals and results in the streets, and large groups gathered to watch the best women's club teams in the world go head-to-head. Shortly after that, the UAE formed a women's national team, and in 2010 the team competed in its first international competition, 2010 WAFF Women's Championship hosted in the UAE. the tournament saw the high-performance Emarti women's team played with, starting with their opening match against Palestine in which they won four goals to two. their second match against fellow debutant team Kuwait marked their biggest victory to date, the match ended 7–0. topping the group they qualified for its first semi-finals in which they faced a competitive Bahrain, with four goals they confirmed their place in the final against the Jordanian team. two times champion Jordan faced the debuting host Emirati team in the final. the match ended one to nil in favor of the UAE. marking history for the team and the country. UAE was the second country to lift the trophy.

Conscutive Win

In 2011 the UAE team back for their second international tournament, 2011 WAFF Women's Championship being the defending champion, the UAE entered the tournament with big hopes to clinch it again. the UAE opened their campaign against Syria defeating them 6 to nil. their second match, however, saw their first loss, losing to Iran 1–4, the team came in matchday 3 to prove their abilities to defend their title as they defeated Lebanon five to nil. making it past the group stage they faced Bahrain in the semifinals winning the match they made it to the Final against Iran, In a tense conclusion to an exciting final, the UAE defeated Iran 6–5 in a penalty shootout last night to win the West Asian Football Federation Women's Championship last night before a vociferous crowd at Sultan bin Zayed Stadium.[3]
