Khaled Issa: The team achieved the most important qualification, and the next one is more difficult

UAE goalkeeper Khaled Issa confirmed that Al-Abyad achieved the most important thing by qualifying for the quarter-finals of the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup, after occupying second place in the second group, noting in a press statement that "the team played to win the last match against Tunisia, and despite the loss." However, he managed to snatch the qualification ticket by finishing second.

Issa admitted that the next stage will be difficult and will witness a stronger competition, especially that Al-Abyad faces the Qatari national team, expecting a fierce fight between the two teams in order to snatch the ticket to qualify for the semi-finals, hoping that he will be successful with his colleagues in achieving the required.

Khaled Issa talked about the benefits that the team gained from the Arab Cup, noting that the technical staff found the opportunity to involve a large number of players, as he, Ali Khaseef and Muhammad Al Shamsi exchanged goalkeepers for the team.

He said, "The players expressed their satisfaction with the policy followed by the technical staff to rotate in the squad, and the opportunity to participate for a large number of players contributes to preparing them for the upcoming matches, raises the degree of competition among the members of the team, and makes each player keen to provide his best."
