It has made one [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] appearance in [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990]] in [[Italy]] and lost all three of its games.

Then, the team faced three other Arabian countries, losing 4–0 and 7–0 to [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] and [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]] respectively and beating [[Bahrain national football team|Bahrain]] 3 to nothing. After participating in four [[Arabian Gulf Cup|Gulf Cup]] tournaments since 1972, United Arab Emirates (UAE) hosted the [[6th Arabian Gulf Cup|1982 edition]].

Its first victory of the tournament occurred against [[India national football team|India]] on 7 December 1984, under manager [[Heshmat Mohajerani]]. In 1984, Mohajerani resigned and was replaced with [[Carlos Alberto Parreira]]. Parreira led the team at the 1988 Asian Cup and left his position after the tournament. He was succeeded by [[Mário Zagallo]]. Zagallo led the team to the qualification for the [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990 World Cup]] in [[Italy]]. However, Zagallo resigned before the tournament and Parreira returned. The team finished fourth at the 1990 World Cup's final tournament with no points, scoring two goals and conceding 11 goals. The journey was put into a 2016 documentary titled ''Lights of Rome''.<ref name="Doc90">{{cite web|url=https://gulfnews.com/sport/uae-sport/uaes-1990-world-cup-journey-now-a-documentary-1.1937574|title=UAE's 1990 World Cup journey now a documentary|publisher=Gulf News|date=30 November 2016|access-date=11 February 2019}}</ref> After the tournament, Parreira was sacked.

In 2006, UAE appointed [[Bruno Metsu]] as the new manager. He led the Emirates to the [[18th Arabian Gulf Cup|2007 Gulf Cup]] title. After hiring foreign coaches, in 2012, United Arab Emirates appointed the [[United Arab Emirates national under-23 football team|Olympic team]] coach [[Mahdi Ali]] as the manager of the senior team. Ali began creating a squad inviting players that he had worked with at the youth level. He led the Emirates to their second [[Arabian Gulf Cup|Gulf Cup]] title in [[21st Arabian Gulf Cup|2013]].
