BOC issues call to support national soccer team

Manama, Sept. 2 (BNA): The Bahrain Olympic Committee (BOC) sent out a call to support the Bahrain national football team for their match tonight (September 3) with North Korea (starting at 6.40pm) in the 2018 World Cup and 2019 Asia Cup qualifiers. BOC sports advisor Abduljalil Asad said the committee has sent a letter to all national sports federations in an attempt to stand behind the team in this crucial game, to be held at the National Stadium in Riffa. The nationals must win the full three points to keep their chances in the qualifiers, from which the winners from each group will book their berth in the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia, while the top two teams will advance into the 2019 Asian Cup finals. Bahrain are presently third in this tough five-team Group ‘H’. They are ahead of fourth-placers Uzbekistan are fifth Yemen, who are still without points. North Korea currently top the group with six points. The Philippines are also on six points but below North Korea in standings on goal difference
