Yemen

The Yemeni national team failed to qualify for the 2024 Asian Cup, and their most recent official matches, led by Miroslav Soukup, were in the qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup. In the initial stage, the "Reds" progressed past Sri Lanka on aggregate. After convincingly defeating their opponent at home with a score of 3-0, Yemen opted for a relaxed approach in the away leg, allowing their opponent to secure a 1-1 draw. In the first three rounds of the group stage, the Yemeni team managed to accumulate only three points. Following a home defeat to Bahrain (0-2), Yemen secured three points against Nepal (2-0). However, their luck took a turn for the worse in the away match against the UAE, where Yemen suffered a 1-2 defeat.

UAE

On the other hand, the team under Paulo Bento's guidance participated in the Asian Cup. During the group stage, the UAE national team secured the second position, registering a victory over the underdog Hong Kong (3-1) and a 1-1 draw with Palestine. Consequently, Palestine was only surpassed by virtue of a superior goal difference, and in the round of 16, Paulo Bento's squad lost to Tajikistan in a penalty shootout.
In the qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup, the UAE national team has played three matches without suffering any losses. They defeated Nepal (4-0), Bahrain (2-0), and Yemen last week with a score of 2-1. It is worth noting that in their last two away matches, the UAE emerged victorious against Bahrain and Costa Rica, although prior to this, they had won only one of their five away matches.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
