DOHA: With two wins out of three games the under-19 national teams of
Qatar and Chile are set for the final of an international youth
tournament at Aspire Academy on Tuesday.

The game, which will be played on Tuesday, promises to be an
interesting one since the first game between the two teams ended with
a tight 1-0 win for Chile.

The international under19 tournament has brought teams from four
different continents to Aspire Academy.

The U19 national team of New Zealand was happy to finish the
tournament on a positive note with a 3-1 win over Morocco.
For them, the tournament was also a special one since the men’s
national team of New Zealand was at same time for a training camp.
“We stayed in the same hotel as the senior players and sometimes head
coach Anthony Hudson invited some of our young players to join the
training of the “All Whites”, which was very motivating for them,”
Darren Bazeley, head coach of the U19 national team of New Zealand,
said.

The Qatari team is using the tournament at Aspire Academy to prepare
for the AFC-U19 Championship in October where they are going to face
Iraq, North Korea and Oman in the group stage.
