Doha, Qatar: Hosts Qatar are set to take on debutants Indonesia at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium for the second game in the opening day of the AFC U23 Asian Cup.
Both teams hope to do big things in the tournament, with the Qatar U23 Portuguese coach Ilidio Vale stating that the goal of the tournament was qualifying to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The U23 side, as per Vale, has been tremendously energized by the senior Qatari national teams’ successful title defense in the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023, in which the host country defeated Jordan 3-1 in the final to retain the most coveted Asian silverware.
Indonesia’s U23 Korean coach Shin Tae-yong has acknowledged that his team’s campaign will not be easy with Qatar, Jordan, and Australia being the other teams in the group.
The Korean coach stated however that his side aims to “leave a mark” in their first ever AFC U23 tournament appearance.
