UAE coach names 24-man squad ahead of Vietnam clash

As scheduled, the UAE players will meet on November 8 to take part in a four-day training camp in Thailand ahead of their match against Vietnam which will be played at the My Dinh stadium in Hanoi on November 14.

According to reports in the UAE media, the visiting team are facing a number of difficulties after being losing to Thailand in their previous match. The tie is therefore a must-win game for the UAE if they are going to have any hope of progressing to the third qualifying round.

At present, the UAE are third in Group G with six points, behind Thailand and Vietnam.

Here is the official list of players called up by the UAE:

Goalkeepers: Ali Khasif, Khalid Eisa, Adel Al-Hosani
