The UAE national football side will face Japan for a hotly-contested encounter that could effectively crush either nation’s ambitions for 2018 World Cup qualification.
Played at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain, the Emiratis currently sit fourth in the group stage, level on points with third-placed Australia who they will have to face after the Japanese test.
When the sides met for the first time in Saitama, the Gulf state managed to snatch an unlikely victory on foreign soil after coming from behind to win 2-1.
Coach Mahdi Ali will hope his men can repeat history, this time on home turf, as Japan will look to leapfrog over first-placed Saudi Arabia and exact vengeance.
