The 2023 AFC Asian Cup saw plenty of action in Group C, with Palestine needing to win against Hong Kong and hope for an Iran triumph over United Arab Emirates to advance out of the group stage for the first time ever. They showed their valour in a dominant 3-0 win over Hong Kong, with Oday Dabbagh and Zaid Qunbar scoring the crucial goals. Despite this, their advancement hung in the balance until the last minute of the Iran-UAE match, which ended in a 2-1 victory for Iran, just short of the result that Palestine needed. However, due to their tenacity and attacking spirit, Palestine progressed to the knockout round as one of the four best-performing third-placed teams, leaving a dramatic evening behind as they rode their luck to secure their progress. Their adventurous play and determination paid off, securing their place in the last 16 for the first time in three attempts. No matter what they achieve from this stage onward, the 2023 AFC Asian Cup will always be a memorable milestone for Palestine.
