Nepal vs UAE: Nepal and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are set to clash today in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, for the second round of the FIFA World Cup 2026 and Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers. The match kicks off at 9:45 pm Nepal Standard Time at the Prince Mohammed bin Fahd Stadium.
Nepal, unable to host international matches at their home stadium due to infrastructure concerns, will be representing their nation in Saudi Arabia. The Nepali team is looking to bounce back from a heavy 4-0 defeat to UAE in their previous encounter.
Despite facing a challenging journey in Group H, with defeats against all their opponents so far, Nepal remains determined. In preparation for today’s match, they played friendlies against Yemen and Bahrain, also held in Saudi Arabia.
The Nepali team lineup features a strong contingent of defenders, midfielders, and forwards, including familiar names like Kiran Kumar Limbu in goal, Ananta Tamang in defense, and Jitesh Rai in attack.
