The establishment of the AFC U22 Championship is two-fold: to provide the platform for players who have finished their youth training to transition to the senior level; and to serve as the qualifying competition to determine Asia’s representatives in the Olympics. Congratulations to the winners Iraq, who won the competition due to their discipline, teamwork and strong tactical understanding. The historical win though was not without a determined challenge from fellow finalists Saudi Arabia. In the end, Iraq’s perfect record in the competition was telling, as they continued their rich vein of form of the past few years. All in all, the inaugural competition was very well contested and traditional powerhouses like Japan, Korea Republic and Iran were given strong challenges by other up-and-coming nations. The U-22 is a vital age group as it is the last stage before these players carry Asia’s hope at the international stage amongst the senior members. Judging from the competition, signs are encouraging for Asia, as the performances support the notion that Asian football is getting increasingly competitive and unpredictable. I cannot stress enough the importance of having our Member Associations strongly challenging one another as it will certainly strengthen every member in the long run. Now, I urge all teams to start preparations for the next edition of the competition which will have even higher stakes with the 2016 Olympics berths on offer. Therefore, please make use of this Technical Report as a means to analyse all elements of the game that can be further improved or rectified.You will definitely find this report useful. Lastly, my appreciation as well to the Oman Football Association, that has set the benchmark for future U-22 Championships. The success of this tournament is also down to the efforts of OFA and the Local Organising Committee. Thank you. Sincerely, Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa AFC President FIFA Executive Committee Member 6 7 AFC U-22 CHAMPIONSHIP OMAN 2013 GENERAL Host City Information Tournament Overview 8 9 AFC U-22 CHAMPIONSHIP OMAN 2013 GENERAL ● HOST CITY INFORMATION Muscat, Oman Muscat is the capital and the largest city of Oman with and motor vehicles.

Nach knapp drei Monaten ohne Bundesliga- Fußball rollt das Leder wieder in den Stadien der Republik. Zum Auftakt der 59. Spielzeit seit Gründung der Bundesliga empfangen unsere Wölfe den Aufsteiger VfL Bochum . Nach elf Jahren Abstinenz heißen wir den Revierklub damit wieder im Oberhaus willkommen. Gemeinsam mit dem „blau-weißen VfL“ kehrt auch ein alter Bekannter zurück in die Autostadt: Aufstiegscoach Thomas Reis trainierte drei Jahre lang die grün-weißen A-Junioren, ehe er 2019 zu jenem Verein zurückkehrte, für den er zwischen 1995 und 2003 als Profi insgesamt 176 Partien bestritt. An alter Wirkungsstätte gelang dem 48-Jährigen das, woran zuvor zehn Trainer gescheitert waren: den Traditionsklub wieder erstklassig zu machen. Mit Mark van Bommel, frischem Trainerstab, vielversprechenden Neuzugängen und unserem heutigen Interview-Partner Koen Casteels als neuem Kapitän gehen die Wölfe in diese sicher inten- sive Spielzeit, in denen uns der Bundesliga-Alltag mit mindestens sechs, hoffentlich aber mehr Champions-League-Auftritten unter der Woche versüßt wird. Wir wünschen unserem neuen Chefcoach und seinen Schützlingen an dieser Stelle bereits viel Erfolg – auf nationalem wie auch auf internationalem Parkett. Wir alle haben in der zurückliegenden außerordentlich schwie- rigen Spielzeit darunter gelitten, aufgrund der Corona-Ein- schränkungen Spitzenfußball komplett ohne Zuschauerunterstützung in den Stadien erleben zu müssen. Umso erfreulicher ist es, dass wir zum heutigen Ligaauftakt wieder lautstarke Fans in unserer schönen Volkswagen Arena begrüßen dürfen – und damit ein wichtiger Schritt in Richtung Normalität gegangen werden kann. Damit die erfreuliche Entwicklung anhalten kann, ist eine hohe Impfquote ein entschei- dender Faktor.

This summer may not be any different for them, especially given the turmoil in terms of the now former head coach Vahid Halilhodzic being sacked one month ago. With players like Shinji Kagawa, or Keisuke Honda, Genki Haraguchi, or even Leicester City’s Shinji Okasaki, Japan will field the talent to win games.

  • Ahmed Yasin Scores Off the Bench As Iraq Earn Decent Point
    Iraq National Team HOME RESULTS & FIXTURES VIDEOS FORUMS MORE The Liions off Mesopottamiia 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: Iraq 1-1 Australia AHMED YASIN SCORES OFF THE BENCH AS IRAQ EARN DECENT POINT Iraq drew 1-1 with Asian champions Australia on Thursday with substitute Ahmed Yasin scoring the equalising goal for Iraq in the second half. The starting lineup caused a lot of debate among Iraqi fans - captain and forward Alaa Abdul-Zahra was injured in the warm-up and Radhi Shenaishil decided to replace him with centre-back Ali Bahjat, switching to a three-at- the-back system with two wingbacks in Dhurgham and Mhawi. Many Iraqi fans, also angered by the absence of Ahmed Yasin in attack (whose spot was taken by Amjad Kalaf), felt that Radhi had made the wrong team selection. But the Lions of Mesopotamia started the game on the front foot, with Saad Abdul-Amir going close from a corner and Amjad Kalaf being blocked when nearly through on goal. Iraq continued to pile the pressure on in the early exchanges of the match and should have gone a goal up when Kalaf found himself a few yards away from goal with just the scrambling Australia 'keeper in his way. But the two-time Iraqi League winner decided to try and chip the goalie and got it horribly wrong, lifting it over the bar. The missed chance seemed to knock Iraq's confidence a bit as Australia started to take control of possession on the poor pitch surface in Iran. And the Socceroos managed to take a one-goal lead into half-time when Mathew Leckie powered in a header unmarked from a corner.
