UAE National Team gears up for World Cup qualifiers

Key Matches Ahead

The camp is in preparation for two crucial matches: June 5 vs. Uzbekistan at Al Nahyan Stadium in Abu Dhabi, and June 10 vs. Kyrgyzstan in Kyrgyzstan

Second phase of training

The UAE Football Association announced that this is the second phase of the team’s training program. The first phase began last week at Zabeel Stadium in Dubai, under the leadership of coach Olario Cosmin, with a squad of 27 players.

Group A standings and qualification hopes

The UAE currently sits in third place in Group A with 13 points, behind Iran (20 points) and Uzbekistan (17 points). The team is aiming to win both upcoming matches, while hoping for a favorable result—such as a draw or loss—for Uzbekistan in its game against Qatar, to secure direct qualification to the next stage.
