The Organizing Committee of GCC Women's Sports Committee has been organizing women's football events in Kuwait in an effort to support the women's national team.[2] The country's kit colors are blue shirts, white shorts, and blue socks.[3]

As of 1999, the women's national team had not competed at the Women's World Cup. They had never entered the Asian Women's Championship as of 1999.[4] As of June 2017, the team was not ranked in the world by FIFA.[5]

Background and development

In 2012 it was written that development of women's football in the Middle East and central Asia dated back only about ten years.[6] The national federation became a FIFA affiliate in 1962.[3]
