Jordan Tops the List of Most Participations and Iraq the Strongest Offensively in Arab Cup History
Records of the Arab Cup show that the Jordan national team is the most frequent participant in the tournament's history, having competed in about 9 out of 10 editions, reflecting its consistent presence on the regional stage.
Following Jordan are Kuwait and Lebanon, each having participated in 8 editions, while Saudi Arabia and Syria secured their places among the teams that have competed in at least 7 editions of the tournament.
In terms of offensive performance, Iraq leads the list of teams with the most goals scored in the history of the Arab Cup, which aligns with their record as the most successful team with four titles, reflecting a clear offensive effectiveness throughout the editions.
However, statistics warn that some older records were not accurately documented, leading to discrepancies in numbers between sources and the absence of a detailed list of goals scored in each match for every national team.
It should be noted that the number of participations does not necessarily indicate continuous attendance, as some editions were affected by team absences or withdrawals. Additionally, some statistics do not accurately reflect the average goals per match for each team.
Collecting historical data of the tournament and preparing a comprehensive table for each national team based on the number of participations, goals, and matches is considered a useful way to understand the bigger picture ahead of the anticipated 2025 edition in Qatar.
