The international match between the national teams of the UAE and Qatar will take place tomorrow at the Al-Wahda Club stadium in Abu Dhabi. The head coach of the UAE national team, Portuguese Paulo Bento, stated at a press conference today that his team is focused exclusively on this match, and not on the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. "The only way to qualify is to win and gather the maximum number of points," he emphasized.
The head coach noted that the match will not be like the previous meeting, in which the UAE national team won with a score of 3-1. Bento also outlined the strategy for victory over the Qatari national team: "We need to do a lot to win this match, including being concentrated, having good player preparation, striving for victory, avoiding mistakes, respecting the opponent, and playing attacking football."
Paulo Bento concluded that the players need to prepare seriously for the game and perform on the field with high motivation to achieve the tasks set and ensure the team's success.
