MUSCAT, MARCH 12
The Oman national football team will take on Sudan in an international friendly match on Thursday night. The match will take place at Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex and will kick off at 22:00. This preparatory encounter will be the final test for Red Warriors ahead of AFC Asian Qualifiers scheduled encounters against South Korea and Kuwait on March 20 and 25 respectively for Group B of the World Qualifiers — Road to 26.
Oman head coach Rasheed Jaber will test many players who were called up for the Red Warriors squad including the new and young faces. The current domestic preparatory camp included 24 players and this match will be a suitable test for the coaching staff to finalise the starting line-up for the upcoming games.
