Qatar take on Myanmar in AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers

Changwon: Qatar will take on Myanmar in the second round of qualifiers for the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup finals,  today  at  the  Changwon Complex Stadium in Gyeongsang, South Korea.

Being  the  host  of  the  2024  tournament, Team Qatar's  results  will  not  count  towards   their   advancement.  

However,  today's  game  holds  more   significance   than   just   securing a victory for Qatar. Under the guidance of Portu-guese  coach  Ilidio  Vale,  who  recently  took  over  from  fellow  Portuguese Bruno Pinheiro, the Qatari team is aiming to build on their strong performance in their previous  match  in  which  they  impressed with a 2-0 win against hosts South Korea, the defending champions.

This victory propelled Qatar to the top of their group with 3  points,  as  Kyrgyzstan  and  Myanmar played to a 1-1 draw in the  same  group.  Coach  Vale  is  relying on a talented roster, led by striker Tamim Mansour Muftah and Ahmed Al Rawi, along with midfielders Osama Al Tiri, Abdul Rahman Raafat, and Muhammad Ayyash, as well as defender Jassim Jaber.

The  team  completed  their  preparations  with  a  rigorous  training session, where all players showed excellent spirits and high-performance levels, gearing up for a   standout   showing   in   the   upcoming match.The tournament serves as a qualifying event for the football competition at the Paris Olympics
