LIVE MATCH: Iraq Vs Vietnam AFC U23 Asian Cup 2024

Doha, Qatar: The final game in the AFC U23 Asian Cup 2024 quarterfinals stage is set to take place at Al Janoub Stadium when Iraq and Vietnam meet.

With Japan, Indonesia, Uzbekistan having qualified for the semis, both Iraq and Vietnam are more than eager to occupy the final slot at the semifinal table.

Despite improvements over the past two matches that saw his team top Group C above Saudi Arabia, Iraq head coach Radhi Shenaishil admits that a different strategy will be needed to combat Vietnam's strengths.

Vietnam head coach Hoang Anh Tuan believes that“anything can happen” in the quarter-final against Iraq, and that his team's group stage loss to Uzbekistan had little-to-no significance on tonight's game.

Stay tuned as we bring you match highlights and a glimpse of the football atmosphere at the venue!
