Despite having to contend with the likes of Saudi Arabia, Japan, Australia, China PR and Vietnam, Oman finished a commendable fourth in Group B of the AFC Asian Qualifiers – Road to Qatar.
They will renew their rivalry with Saudi Arabia in Group F of Qatar 2023 and they will not be lacking confidence despite their West Asian rivals being among the pre-tournament favourites for the title.
