Football in Yemen is run by the Yemen Football Association. The association administers the Yemen national football team, as well as the Yemeni League. Football (soccer) is the most popular sport in Yemen. The Yemen national football team competes in the FIFA and AFC leagues. The country also hosts many football clubs that compete nationally and internationally. Yemen hosted the 2010 Gulf Cup of Nations in Aden. Yemen was thought to be the strongest competitor, but was defeated in the first three rounds. The development of football in Yemen is often thought to be held by back many of Yemen's internal problems such as terrorist attack threats, political tension between the North and South, an unstable economy, and a high illiteracy rate. The Yemeni national team has never won a championship, though it includes many renowned Arab players. But its most famous footballer is Yemeni striker Ali Al-Nono who is the highest goal-scorer for the Yemeni League and has played in the top division of Bahrain and Syria. ==Early Beginnings== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Football in Yemen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
