Iran

The Iranian national team performed exceptionally well in the 2024 Asian Cup. The "Persian Leopards" secured maximum points in the group stage by defeating Palestine, Hong Kong, and the UAE. In the first playoff match, Iran narrowly edged out Syria in a penalty shootout, while in the quarterfinals, they defeated Japan 2-1. Only the host team, Qatar, managed to halt the progress of the "Lions of Iran" in the semifinals with a 3-2 victory. In the World Cup 2026 qualification tournament, Iran collected 4 points in two matches by defeating Hong Kong (4-0) at home and drawing with Uzbekistan (2-2).

Turkmenistan

The Turkmenistan national team cannot boast the same level of success as their opponent. The "Emeralds" failed to qualify for the continental tournament in Qatar, finishing only third in a group with Bahrain, Malaysia, and Bangladesh. In the World Cup 2026 qualification campaign, Turkmenistan played two matches and managed to earn just one point. After drawing with Hong Kong away (2-2), Mergen Orazov's team also lost to the group favorite Uzbekistan (1-3) at home. Overall, Turkmenistan has been unable to secure a victory in their last 10 matches.
