Holding on later, it benefits Group H participants. On the other hand, the situation is at a loss for Thailand U-20.
Thailand Under 20 will qualify from 10 to 18 September, like the other nine groups. The differences in the implementation of these qualifications were highlighted in the Siamsport newsletter.
The report reveals a number of factors that made Group H the last.
“The matches in this group were originally scheduled to be played [sesuai jadwal] but it could not be played because Australia sent a letter to the Asian Football Confederation that it would not take part due to concerns about safety issues for the trip to Iraq, which was the original host of the group, “wrote Siamsport .
In addition to Australia, which had resigned, the absence of India was also announced because the Indian Football Association was punished by FIFA for the interference of third parties.
After the withdrawal of two teams, the AFC has called up the two remaining: Iraq and Kuwait. Kuwait has finally become the host of Group H who will play two games for Iraq.
“After Kuwait became the host, Australia was readmitted to participate in the tournament. Incidentally, India was also exempted from the FIFA ban. This condition allows this group’s matches to be scheduled from 14 to October 18 “.
In determining the best runner-up, there are seven teams with a value of six points competing for the remaining five tickets to the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup.
In the latest assessment, Thailand had to compete with Iraq and Syria because they had a +3 goal difference.
However, Iraq and Syria have better scores than Thailand. Thailand Under 20 also had to fail to qualify for the 2023 Under-20 Asian Cup, quoted by The Tiger.
