The national football team will conclude its training tomorrow in preparation for a friendly match against Syria next Friday at the Sadaqua Walsalam Stadium, as part of the current Azraq camp scheduled during FIFA’s international window. Portuguese coach Helio Sousa aims to finalize the lineup for the first friendly against Syria, while also preparing the squad for the second match of the camp against Honduras next Tuesday. Meanwhile, Sousa continues to develop the team’s training program for the coming months, particularly during the international breaks in March and June, in preparation for the start of the Asian qualifiers for the 2030 World Cup, to be hosted by Portugal, Spain, and Morocco.
Sousa has ruled out Al-Kuwait Club star and national team player Mohammed Daham from the current camp roster, as he requires more than 10 days to recover from an ankle injury. Additionally, Kazma Club defender Fahad Al-Hajri has submitted a formal resignation from the national team camp, reducing the current Azraq squad to 28 players who will be relied upon for the two friendlies.
Sousa places great emphasis on integrating young players and those recently called up to the national team, focusing on their adaptation to the team environment and providing opportunities to as many players as possible for the upcoming matches.
