Doha, Qatar: Iraq and Indonesia will compete for the third and fourth place at Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium . The third and final automatic berth at the Paris Olympics from the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qatar 2024™ will be at stake today when Iraq and Indonesia face off in the third place playoff.
Iraq are seeking a sixth appearance and a first since 2016, while Indonesia’s sole involvement to date came in 1956 before the Olympics’ men’s football tournament became a U23 affair. The losing team will still have one last shot at making it, via a playoff against Guinea on May 9 in Paris.
However, that is not on either side’s minds for now as they look to pick themselves up from stumbling at the semi-finals to get ready for their second chance at the Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium.
Stay tuned as we bring you match highlights and a glimpse of the football atmosphere at the venue!
