2023 Asian Cup Schedule Today: Two Matches In Group F Presented
JAKARTA - Entering the fifth day of the 2023 Asian Cup, Thailand will play its first match in Group F against Kirgizstan. In addition to the duel, there was one more duel which was also held on the same day, Tuesday, January 16, 2024.
Thailand became the fourth ASEAN team representative to appear in the 2023 Asian Cup after previously Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia played their first match.
Thailand will face a team from Central Asia, Kirgizstan. The inaugural match in Group F will be held at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, at 21.30 WIB.
For Thailand, this inaugural match is very crucial to determine their path to qualify for the round of 16. In order to maintain that hope, they must be able to get maximum points in every match.
However, that target is not an easy thing for the White Elephant Troops. When viewed from the quality of Kyrgyzstan in the FIFA rankings, they are above Thailand.
In the inaugural match, Thailand must also work hard because a number of their star players are absent. This condition is predicted to present an exciting match between Thailand vs. Kirgizstan.
In addition to that match, the 2023 Asian Cup match will also continue with a duel between Saudi Arabia vs Oman. The match will be held at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, early morning WIB.

However, Oman doesn't want to just give up. Even though they rank FIFA under Saudi Arabia, there is no guarantee that Oman will be easily defeated in this match.
