Preview - Group A: Qatar v Australia

Doha: Tony Vidmar is confident his Australia squad can still perform to their potential as the Olyroos go into their Group A meeting at the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qatar 2024™ with hosts Qatar knowing even victory might not be enough to keep their title hopes alive.

A 1-0 loss to Indonesia on Thursday left the Australians with one point from two games and, with his team yet to score, Vidmar’s side are bottom of the standings going into the final round of group matches.

That means Australia need to pick up all three points against Qatar while hoping Shin Tae-yong’s Indonesia side lose to third-placed Jordan in their meeting on Sunday to have a realistic chance of advancing to the quarter-finals.
