UAE national football team trained at New York University ahead of Asian Cup
The UAE national
football team trained at New York University in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday night
ahead of their Asian Cup opener against Bahrain on Saturday.
The hosts, who have been
drawn with Bahrain, India and Thailand in Group A, are without their star man -
the injured playmaker Omar Abdulrahman.
But they will have
pleasant memories from the previous edition of the continental competition in
Australia where they reached the semi-finals before being knocked out by the
home team and eventual champions.
