Al-Akhdar became the betting horse of the Arab teams in the World Cup qualifiers, with the team leading the second group standings with six points, equal with the Australian team, which excels by a goal difference, while the results of other matches for the Arab teams revealed the complexity of their position in the competition in the qualification cards to the World Cup.

Although the first group includes four Arab teams, it moved away from the first and second places, as the Iranian team topped the ranking list with six points by defeating Syria in the first round with a goal without a response and winning in the second round over Iraq with three goals without a response, while it came in second place South Korea, who won their first victory over Lebanon 1-0. On the other hand, the national team continued to waste easy points with a draw against Syria with a goal each, and with Lebanon without goals, so that the national team ranked third with two points, while the Iraqi team was disappointed after the team started the qualifiers by obtaining a valuable point with a draw away from its home against Korea Al Janoubia without goals, but the loss at home against Iran moved it to sixth place in the standings with one point. As for the teams of Syria and Lebanon, the balance of each of them stopped at one point.
