Football news base – The fifth week of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers will be held tomorrow in different cities of the continent. 8 matches from this week will be played tomorrow and one match on Friday.
According to a football report, the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian continent had reached the halfway point in the previous Fifa and will cross the halfway point tomorrow and the day after tomorrow with the fifth week of games. 18 teams are present in this stage, which are divided into 3 groups.
Due to the vastness of the Asian continent and the difference in time in different cities and countries, football enthusiasts in this continent will see the matches of different teams tomorrow from noon to night. Together we will take a look at tomorrow’s matches and the only match after tomorrow. From the first race to the last race.
Australia – Saudi Arabia 12:40
The first match tomorrow is probably the most sensitive match of the day. From 12:40 in the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in Melbourne, Australia hosts Saudi Arabia. Both teams have 5 points and Australia is second in the table with a better goal difference. This is Herve Renard’s first experience on the Saudi bench after the dismissal of Roberto Mancini. The interesting thing is that the Australian Football Federation has recently removed Graham Arnold and announced Tony Popovich as the new head coach. In fact, tomorrow’s game is Popovic’s third appearance on the Australian bench and Renard’s first appearance on the Saudi bench.
Iran – North Korea 15:30
The second match will be held tomorrow at the new Win Tien National Stadium in Laos, where the North Korean national team will host Iran. Due to some problems, FIFA has taken hosting from North Korea and the team’s home matches will be held in Laos. In this group, Iran is at the top of the table with 10 points and North Korea is at the bottom of the table with two points. Perhaps facing North Korea seems like a simple game for Iran, but it is not. Amir Ghalenoui warned his players that this game could be the most difficult match of the national team until this week. But the victory over North Korea can be a big step on the way to the 2026 World Cup.
Bahrain – China 17:30
The Bahrain National Stadium in Rafah city will host the third game tomorrow. In this stadium, the Bahrain national team will play with the Chinese national team. In this group, Bahrain ranks fourth with 5 points and less goal difference than Australia and Saudi Arabia. China, which was close to sacking Branko Ivankovic after 3 consecutive losses, got away from the crisis by winning against Indonesia in the fourth match. Bahrain may be able to reach the higher ranks of the table by winning this match. Defeat in China can mean the end of Bronco’s work in this team.
Kuwait – South Korea 17:30
The first match of Group B will be held at the Jaber Bin Ahmed International Stadium in Kuwait City between the two teams of Kuwait and South Korea. South Korea with 10 points is the main contender and the first to advance from this group, but Kuwait with 3 points does not have much chance to directly advance to the World Cup. The main goal of this team is to reach the third and fourth places and reach the next stage of the selection competitions. Except for the difficult victory against Palestine, Kuwait has lost all its games, and today’s game against Korea is also very difficult for this team. Almost all Asian football experts believe that Kuwait will lose in this home game.
Oman – Palestine 19:30
The second match of Group B of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian continent will be held at 19:30 at the Sultan Qaboos Stadium in Muscat, Oman. where the national team of Oman will host Palestine. The battle of these two teams is the battle of teams that currently do not have much chance to advance from this group. Especially Palestine, which is at the bottom of the group table with two points. But if Oman wants to at least reach the next stage of the tournament, it must be able to defeat Palestine.
Qatar – Uzbekistan 19:45
The second game tomorrow, which is important for Iranian football fans, will be held at 19:45 at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Al-Ryan city in Qatar, during which the Qatar national team will face the Uzbekistan national team. Uzbekistan is in the second place of this group table with 10 points and less goal difference than Iran, and Qatar is in the fourth place with 4 points due to its fluctuating performances. For Iran, maybe a draw between these two teams is the best result. Qatar’s victory is not a bad result, but it can introduce this team as a contender for promotion from the group by placing in the first and second places.
Emirates – Kyrgyzstan 19:45
This game is also important for the Iranian national team. Apart from the fact that both teams are in the same group as Iran, Iran will face Kyrgyzstan in Bishkek next week’s game, which will be held on Tuesday. UAE is in third place with 4 points above Qatar and Kyrgyzstan is in fifth place with 3 points. 3 points in this match are very valuable for UAE. Because it can keep the UAE’s hopes of directly advancing from this group to the World Cup. But the Kyrgyz don’t feel the pressure to be forced to climb directly. For them, placing in the third and fourth ranks is considered a great result.
Iraq – Jordan 19:45
The last game tomorrow night is a match that will be held at Basra International Stadium, during which Iraq and Jordan will play together. This match is one of the most sensitive games tomorrow. Because both teams have 7 points, but Jordan is second due to better goal difference and Iraq is third. This game can also have a revenge aspect for Iraq. In the 18th round of the 2023 Asian Nations Cup, Iraq was ahead of Jordan by 2-1 when Alireza Faghani sent off the Iraqi striker Ayman Hossein, after which Jordan scored two goals and won. The winning team of tomorrow’s match will have the second chance to advance from this group after South Korea.
Indonesia – Japan 15:30 (Friday)
The last match of the fifth week of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers will be held one day later than the other matches, and the Indonesian national team will host Japan at the Gloria Bong Karno Stadium in Jakarta. Japan is running alone in this difficult group and it seems that it will confirm its promotion as the first team of the group soon. The rest of the teams in this group have a little distance from each other. For example, Australia is the second team with 5 points, but Indonesia is in the fifth place with 5 points. No one expects Indonesia to advance from this difficult group, but this team can make a surprise and advance to the next stage by placing in the third and fourth places.
