one of the strong teams, not just in the Arab region but also in the
Asia region. Arab Cup-20 is not at the level of the Gulf, but the
Asian level, pointing out that all the possibilities available, and
that the team is well-equipped for a long time.”

means they will play strong matches as these are strong regional
teams.

Djibouti while Group B includes Qatar, Sudan Lebanon, and KSA.
