TEHRAN – Iran U-17 football team to meet Oman in Group D of the AFC U-17 Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2025 on Tuesday.
Iranian coach Abbas Chamanian believes that they have the upper hand in their face off with Oman.
“Our responsibility for the coming match is to improve all our lines,” he said, adding that he would review footage of their opponents’ first match to decide on how best to counter them.
“The team doesn’t really have enough time to recover or to even think about strategies, but we will sit our players down and advise them on how best to tackle their opponents,” he added.
Oman lost 2-1 to Tajikistan despite a strong start and more shots at goal in the first half. They began to run out of steam after conceding the second goal right after the break.
Oman’s head coach Anwar Al Habsi says that they are ready to do a better job against Iran than they did against Tajikistan.
