Riffa hosts the national side at the Bahrain National Stadium, also known simply as Riffa Stadium. It is where a federation formed in 1957 has staged everything since.
The shirt is red, The Red . The Arabian Gulf Cup has been won twice, in 2019 against Saudi Arabia and again in the 2024–25 edition against Oman, and the same 2019 side also took the WAFF Championship, beating Iraq. The high point on the continental stage came earlier, in 2004, when Bahrain reached the semi-finals of the AFC Asian Cup under Srećko Juričić before finishing fourth.
Sayed Dhiya Saeed wears the armband now.
