The source reported that the Football Federation suddenly made a decision to relocate the venue for the match of the national team against the Kyrgyz team, which is scheduled to take place on November 14 as part of the qualifying stage for the 2026 World Cup. The match will be held at the Mukhammadi Stadium in the Al-Jazeera club instead of the Hazza Stadium in the Al-Ain club, where the previous match took place.

The source also mentions that the match of the sixth round against the Qatari national team on November 19 will return to the Hazza Stadium in the Al-Jazeera club, and this change of venue does not violate the rules. The national team occupies third place in the group with four points after winning against Qatar and drawing with KNDR, and also two defeats to Iran and Uzbekistan.
