In a historic first, Myanmar has qualified for a spot in the FIFA Under-20 World Cup.
The team clinched their birth on October 17 in Yangon’s Thuwana Stadium, where they defeated the favored United Arab Emirates team 1-0.
Prior to the match, Myanmar coach Gerd Zeise described the match as “Myanmar’s biggest game for the next 20 years, maybe for a century”, according to the Asian Football Cup’s news website.
After Myanmar striker Than Paing scored in the match’s first 52 minutes, key players such as Aung Thu, Than Paing, Nyein Chan Aung and Myo Min Latt played precision defence and prevented the UAE from closing the gap.
“I’m honoured by my players … Myanmar is going to be a World Cup contender” coach Gerd Zeise said after the match.
The 20th Under-20 World Cup will be held next year in New Zealand, starting May 30.
