The Oman women's national football team, represents Oman in international women's association football and is governed by Oman Football Association (OFA). The team has not played any official match so far.

Background

The national federation became a FIFA affiliate in 1980.^[1] The development of women's football in the Middle East and central Asia dates back only about ten years.^[2]

Team

In 1985, almost no country in the world had a women's national football team^[3] and the team has yet to play in a FIFA recognised match.^[4] The team has therefore never been ranked by FIFA.^[5]

The country's kit colours are red and white shirts, red shorts, and red socks.^[1]
