Up next, they will face South Korea as they continue their buildup to the competition.

Head coach Yussif Basigi expressed satisfaction with the team’s development: "It was a very good exercise for us though we wanted to play a medium-profile game before that match because it was a high-profile match. They are also contenders in the World Cup. We played them and we were very happy with the game that we played even though it was our first high-profile match."
