La 1ere édition de la Coupe Arabe a eu lieu en 1963 sous l'impulsion du Liban 🇱🇧

5 équipes y participent alors et c'est la Tunisie 🇹🇳 qui rempote la compétition
Deux autres éditions auront lieu (1964 au Koweït 🇰🇼 1966 en Irak🇮🇶) qui seront remportées par la sélection irakienne.

Compte tenu des conflits et des troubles politiques en Proche-Orient, la compétition sera interrompue 16 ans, avant de finalement reprendre en 1982.
