The team has returned from a training camp in Bahrain where coach Abdullah Al Mesfer, said his team showed great cohesion and levels of fitness.

“We must win against Afghanistan,” he said.

“The camp has helped us to focus. We won’t be underestimating them so it was important for us to get away as a group. A win will keep us top of the group and in good shape to qualify.”

At the same time, Cambodia will host Vietnam. The top two from the group will qualify through to the next phase.
