The Afghanistan national team match against the Kuwait in 2e ronde of the AFC 2026 World Cup Qualification on Tuesday, November 21, 2023 will be held at the Abdullah Al Dabil Stadium Stadium, Dammam.
Afghanistan will face Kuwait in the second Group A match of the 2026 AFC World Cup qualifiers at the Abdullah Al Dabil Stadium, Dammam, on November 21 2023. Afghanistan is currently in third place in Group A with zero points from one match.
In the first round of these qualifiers, Afghanistan won 1-0 over Mongolia twice in a row at home and away. Unfortunately, in the first match of the second half, Afghanistan lost 8-1 to Qatar. At the very least, the first 2 wins can give confidence to the team coached by Anoush Dastgir, who wants to continue their positive trend.
On the other hand, Kuwait is also without points from one match. Kuwait lost 1-0 to India at home on November 16. This defeat meant that coach Thamer Enad’s team did not get the same points as Afghanistan’s status. Kuwait must immediately recover from this defeat and look for their first win in the AFC World Cup qualifiers.
The match between Afghanistan and Kuwait will be the second meeting between the two teams. Their first meeting took place in a friendly match on 14 May 2014, where Kuwait won 3–2 at home. Kuwait’s goals were scored by Bader Al Mutawa, Fahad Al Ansari and Fahad Al Hajeri, while Afghanistan’s goals were scored by Faysal Shayesteh and Mustafa Hadid. This match showed that both teams have the ability to score goals and provide entertainment for the crowd.
Afghanistan and Kuwait have several players to watch in this match. Afghanistan has Farshad Noor and Jabar Sharza, who each scored one goal in the AFC World Cup qualifiers. Both are versatile players who can play in the midfielder or striker positions. They will be a threat to Kuwait’s defense with their speed and technique.
Both teams face tough competition from two other teams who have scored 3 points, namely India and Qatar. Afghanistan’s performance seems to be better than Kuwait so it is most likely to win three points in the second match of the second round of the Asian Zone World Cup qualifiers.
