Al-Azraq begins its training sessions today at the Friendship and Peace Stadium, under the guidance of its Portuguese coach Helio Sousa, in preparation for friendly matches against Syria and Honduras on November 13 and 17, within the current international break. These matches come amid changes to Al-Azraq’s preparation schedule following the Asian Football Confederation’s decision to postpone the 2027 Asian Cup finals to December of that year, instead of their original dates in January and February next year. This prompted the Football Association to rearrange its preparation plan, opting to focus solely on the two friendly matches for now, rather than completing the program originally scheduled for December, which included a training camp and additional trial matches. The technical staff aims to leverage these fixtures to assess players’ readiness and experiment with certain squad members, while continuing to work on improving the national team’s performance in the coming period.
