The Spanish Login Lopetegui, our first national football team coach, opened the file of the first match in the qualifying continental supplement for the 2026 World Cup, scheduled for Amman next Wednesday at Jassim bin Hamad Stadium at the Championship stadium in the dam in the first group matches.
Although there is a second match with the UAE, October 14th, also at the Championship Stadium in the dam, the interest is to confront Oman and how to pass it and get the first victory.
Al -Annabi will play its primary training today, Monday, in preparation for the meeting of Oman, and Lopetegui is decided by all matters related to the match from the play plan, the basic formation, and how to confront the Omani team.
All matters appear to be good and good, and there are no injuries, and the rows are complete in all respects, and the coach has a complete and complete vision of Al -Annabi since he took over the mission last May, and the team led several official and friendly matches.
Everyone hopes that Al -Annabi will appear with his known level that he presented in the Asian Cup 2023 in Doha and led him to win the title for the second time in its history, then the situation differed for reasons that are not a field mentioned at the present time that affected the results of the team in the matches of the third stage of the World Cup qualifiers and his sanctity, which was a strong candidate, from direct qualification even though the expectations were in his favor next to Iran Uzbekistan that really qualified to World Cup.
The indicators suggest that Al -Annabi will appear with its well -known level after the friendly matches that the team fought with the Ukrainian Metallist, the Italian club, and the teams of Lebanon, Bahrain and Russia, and although the results were not good, these matches were necessary, whether to re -understand and harmonize between the team and homogeneity, or for the clarity of the vision in front of the new coach who took over the mission days before the two matches of Iran or Uzbekistan at the end of the stage at the end of the stage The third of the qualifiers.
Cut the qualification ticket by 50%
The Oman match is the most important at the present time, as it is the first match in the qualifiers, and it has 50% of the qualification ticket to the World Cup 2026, despite the presence of a second match with the Emirates, and the success of Al -Annabi in passing the Amman match will give our team additional strength and make its chances greater in the Emirates match of October 14.
Hence, the Oman match, as we mentioned in the forefront is the most important now and it is the one that receives greater attention from Lopetegi and the focus of Al -Annabi players must be greater.
Certainly, the confrontation with Oman will not be easy. The Omani team regained a lot of its strength, and was able to cross the third stage of the qualifiers, and made a change to his technical staff appointing the expert coach in the Asian Portuguese ball, Carlos Kirosh, to succeed the national coach Rashid Jaber last July 16.
