Saudi Arabia outside the 2024 Paris Olympics

The Saudi national team failed to continue its journey towards the 2024 Paris Olympics, after it was defeated by its Uzbek counterpart (0-2) in the match that brought them together today, Friday, in the quarter-finals of the AFC U-23 Cup.

The Uzbekistan national team qualified for the fourth time in a row to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup for those under 23 years of age, and set a match with its Indonesian counterpart, who achieved a major surprise by eliminating the South Korean team, after defeating them on penalties (11-10), after they tied with two goals each. .

The two players for the Uzbek national team were scored by Hussein Nurshayev and Omar Ali Rakhmon Aliyev in the 45th and 84th minutes, respectively, of the match that took place at Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar.

The top three teams will advance directly to the 2024 Paris Olympics, while the fourth-placed team will play in the Asian-African play-off against the Guinea national team, which ranked fourth in the African Cup of Nations for those under 23 years of age.
