Bahrain Gears Up to End FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifying Campaign on a High Note
The Bahrain national football team is determined to conclude its FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign on a winning note as it prepares to face Yemen in its final group match. Having already secured a place in the third round of Asian qualifiers and a ticket to the 2027 AFC Asian Cup finals, Bahrain’s focus now is on maintaining their momentum and demonstrating their strengths.
Head coach Juan Antonio Pizzi is set to lead the squad with a commitment to securing another victory. Notably, Bahrain has already collected 13 points in the group, securing four wins, a draw, and only one defeat, while scoring seven goals and conceding just three. The latest triumph, a 1-0 win over Nepal at the Bahrain National Stadium at Isa Town, underscores the team’s defensive solidity and attacking capabilities.
Coach Pizzi emphasized the significance of the last group match by stating: “We want to finish on a high,” reflecting the determination within the camp to keep spirits and performance levels up.
The encounter against Yemen is set to take place at the Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Abha, Saudi Arabia. Bahrain has already qualified along with United Arab Emirates from Group H, while Yemen and Nepal are out of the running for the next round.
Ahead of the crucial game, Bahrain held training sessions to fine-tune tactics and remain focused. The team’s resilience and consistent performances throughout the qualifiers have been a source of pride, both for the players and for their dedicated supporters.
As Bahrain aims to make history by reaching the FIFA World Cup finals for the first time, every match, including the final group clash, is regarded as essential preparation. With an eye on future challenges and higher levels of competition, the squad’s desire to end the current phase on a victorious note is palpable.
