The Olympic team will play its final match in Group E at 4:50 pm this evening against the Omani team at the end of the qualifiers for the AFC U-23 Cup finals, which will be held in Uzbekistan next year.

To qualify for the continental finals, the team needs to win today and a greater number of goals, to avoid any surprises in the India-Kyrgyzstan meeting. The team is at the top of the group with three points, the same balance for all the other teams, where Oman is second, India is third, and Kyrgyzstan is fourth.

Coaches told "Emirates Today" that the Olympic team has the technical capabilities to resolve qualification and avoid any surprises, and that it only needs intense focus, calm and tactical discipline. Former Al Dhaid coach Mohammed Al Tunaiji said he was confident Al-Abyad's ability to qualify. He explained: The match will not be easy, especially since the confrontations with the Gulf teams are characterized by rivalry and difficulty, so the team needs a collective performance and the lines are interconnected, and I expect the team to win by two clean goals. If the team wins, and India draws with Kyrgyzstan, he will qualify directly, but if one of the two teams (Indian or Kyrgyzstan) wins, he will need to win and wait for the goal difference to determine the qualifier. In turn, Masafi coach Muhammad Al-Khadim said:"The capabilities of the Olympic players qualify them to win and qualify, and we have seen in the past matches a distinguished performance, but the players are blamed for rushing, so they need more focus, calmness, and discipline during the implementation of the duties entrusted to them, without forgetting that the Oman national team is strong and has good players."

The current and former Hatta coach, Walid Obaid, confirmed: "The team does not deserve that loss against Kyrgyzstan, and the victory over India was an important correction for the team's path, and the confidence is high that the Olympic Whites will be able to win Oman in the strong Gulf derby despite its difficulty."

Mohamed Al Tunaiji:

“The team needs a collective performance and the lines are interconnected.”

Muhammad Al-Khadim:

“The capabilities of the Olympic players qualify them to win and qualify.”

Walid Obaid:

"The victory over India was an important correction to the national team's career."

Team qualification options

■ Beat Oman by any result, and India tied Kyrgyzstan.

■ Win by a large margin of goals over Oman, to avoid the victory of one of the two teams (Indian or Kyrgyz) by a large margin.
