UAE will begin their campaign as opening Group C match against a lower-ranked Hong Kong in the opening Group C match at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha on Sunday (January 14).

They are clubbed in the group with Iran and Palestine, who play later tonight at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar. UAE are considered one of the dark horses in the AFC Asian Cup as they finished fourth as a host in 2019 while this tournament is being played in their neighbourhood.

UAE are considered one of the dark horses in the AFC Asian Cup as they finished fourth as a host in 2019 while this tournament is being played in their neighbourhood.

The 33-year-old striker Ali Mabkhout of Al Jazira remains the UAE's star, having scored 85 goals in 115 games, five of which came during the 2015 Asian Cup and earned him the Golden Boot. Harib Abdulla, the winger for Shabab Al Ahli, has been regarded as one to watch after putting up strong shows in the AFC Champions League and continuing to make an impression in the World Cup qualifying matches against Australia and South Korea last year.

Meanwhiel for Hong Kong, midfielder Wong Wai and center-half Vas Nunez, who have missed all of Hong Kong's recent practice sessions due to groin and shoulder issues, respectively, are almost fully recovered. After being substituted during last week's play against China, defenseman Helio Goncalves is back and available. Jesse Yu Joy-yin, a 22-year-old midfielder, is also a candidate again after missing the team's victories over China and subsequent defeat to Tajikistan.

Hong Kong entered the current tournament ranked 150th in the FIFA world rankings, matching their best-ever result in the major continental competition, which came in 1956 when they managed the bronze medal.
