The UAE Football Association (UAEFA) have formally submitted a request to AFC (Asian Football Confederation) expressing their interest to host the remaining Group G matches of 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
They have zeroed down on Al Nasr’s Al Maktoum Stadium and Al Wasl’s Zabeel Stadium, in Dubai as the two venues to host the qualifiers.
"The UAE candidacy file meets all the standards, conditions and requirements set by the continental federation, including stadiums, residences, referees and officials of the AFC, in addition to a high-quality health protocol that guarantees everyone’s safety," said Mohammed Abdullah Hazam Al Dhaheri, UAE FA General Secretary, in a statement.
