Syrian football fans are eagerly waiting for a thrilling and decisive encounter when the Syrian national team takes on Myanmar this Thursday evening at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium, as part of the third round of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers.
This match promises to be one of the most anticipated fixtures in the group, as both teams have collected six points from their first two matches, setting up a direct showdown for top spot in the standings.
Syria Aiming to Extend Its Perfect Start
The Syrian national team, under the leadership of Spanish coach Jose Llana, has made an impressive start to its qualifying campaign. The team has won both of its opening matches without conceding a single goal — defeating Pakistan 2-0 in the opener and Afghanistan 1-0 in the second round.
These results have placed Syria at the top of the group on goal difference, with confidence and momentum on their side. Llana has emphasized defensive stability and disciplined tactical play, two key elements that have defined Syria’s recent performances.
Key Players to Watch
All eyes will be on Syria’s attacking duo, Omar Khribin and Mahmoud Al-Mawas, who have been instrumental in creating and converting scoring opportunities. In midfield, Alaa Al-Dali’s energy and Ahmad Ashkar’s vision will be crucial in breaking down Myanmar’s organized defense.
Myanmar – The Silent Challenger
Myanmar has also been perfect in the qualifiers so far, winning both of its matches and keeping pace with Syria. Their disciplined defensive setup and quick transitions have caught many by surprise, and they will be aiming to cause another upset against the group leaders.
What’s at Stake
This match carries significant weight in determining the group’s hierarchy. A win for Syria would move them one step closer to securing qualification for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, while a Myanmar victory would see them take the lead and strengthen their own qualification hopes.
With both sides in excellent form and full of confidence, fans can expect a highly competitive and entertaining match under the lights of Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium
