The team participated in the 2012 Toulon Tournament from 23 May to 1 June.[3] They finished in second place after losing the final to Mexico.[4] They also won the 2011–13 International Challenge Trophy.

At the 2013 Islamic Solidarity Games in Palembang, Indonesia, the team took the bronze medal defeating the squad of Saudi Arabia 2-1.[5]
