Myanmar’s national football team will play against Lebanon in a friendly match at the Thuwunna Youth Training Centre in Yangon at 5 pm today, marking their second international friendly of November.
Myanmar lost to Singapore with a 2-3 scoreline in a friendly match on 14 November in Singapore. The Lebanese team played a goalless draw against the Thailand team. There are a lot of injured players in the Myanmar national team, and some key players will miss this match. Head Coach U Myo Hlaing Win has selected a squad of 24 players, most of whom were featured in the previous game against Singapore. That will be the first encounter between Myanmar and Lebanon since 2016. The two teams faced each other twice during the 2018 World Cup AFC Qualifiers, with Myanmar losing 0-2 in one match and drawing 1-1 in the other.
In preparation for the 2024 ASEAN Cup, scheduled for this December, Myanmar’s national team has been playing three warm-up matches with Singapore and Sri Lanka during the international windows in October and November. So far, Myanmar has recorded one win, one draw, and one loss. — Ko Nyi Lay/TTN
