UAE was rated strongest in group G of World Cup 2022 but they are currently ranked third with 6 points from 3 matches, following Thailand and Vietnam. The previous loss to Thailand caused the UAE to seriously revalue its rivals so as not to repeat the loss.

Bert van Marwijk made some changes on the list. He chose 9 defensive players from 24 players, including veteran center-back Yousef Jaber and midfielder Habib Al Fardan.

Accordingly, UAE will arrive in Vietnam on Nov 13. They will have a training before entering the match on Nov 14, 8:00PM.
