The state of Israel was founded in 1948 in the wake of the Holocaust and World War II, leading to the establishment of the Israeli Football Association.
Israel proved largely successful at the Asian Cup, finishing second in 1956 and 1960, and winning the tournament as hosts in 1964.
In 1974, Israel was expelled from the AFC via a resolution put forward by Kuwait, after which Israeli teams faced challenges in international competitions.
In 1991, UEFA allowed the Israeli national team to compete under its umbrella, leading to full membership by 1994.
