Bahrain’s under-23 Olympic football team had a goalless stalemate with their counterparts from Kuwait yesterday in a friendly match played as part of both teams’ ongoing overseas training camps in Bangkok.
The contest between the two Gulf sides was an even, tightly contested affair but it did not produce any goals. It was the third friendly for the Bahrainis at their camp. They had previously drawn 1-1 with Thai League Two side Kasetsart FC, which followed their 9-0 drubbing of Prachinburi FC in their first friendly.
The nationals, coached by Dario Basic of Croatia, are currently in their camp preparing for their upcoming qualifiers for the 2024 AFC U23 Asian Cup, scheduled to take place next month.
This training period is scheduled to continue until 16 August. The under-23s have a 28-player squad at their camp, including Mustafa Al Salem, Omar Saber, Hussein Harouneh, Hussein Abdulkarim, Abdulla Freih, Ahmed Dia, Abdulla Al Subaie, Abdulrahman Al Obaidly, Adel Al Rumaihi, Saleh Al Zubaidi, Mubarak Mohammed, Abdulla Al Khalasi, Salman Abdulla, Mohammed Abdul Qayyum, Ahmed Kamel, Khalifa Al Lafi, Salman Adel, Khalil Ebrahim, Ahmed Musalam, Hassan Issa, Ali Mohammed Redha, Ahmed Abdulhameed, Hussein Al Aker, Hassan Abdulnabi, Yasseen Karim, Salem Al Dosari, Salem Hussein and Sayed Jawad Haider.
Bahrain’s group matches in the qualifiers are set to be held in the Kingdom. The nationals are in Group D with Japan, Palestine and Pakistan.
