Yangon, Myanmar: The Qatar junior squad has shown considerable form to fan hopes of a great future, a Qatar Football Association (QFA) official said on Friday. Qatar has won the final of the Asian Under-19 Cup final after beating DPR Korea in the final on Thursday. QFA official Ali Salem Afifa said: "They've played really well. The young players have shown immense talent on the pitch. They have shown great maturity during their matches. They have passed the tests so far with flying colours." He added: "Although this is just the beginning of their careers but one can safely say that we have the back-up players who would make for a great squad in the future." Ali Salem said: "They train really well and adapt even better during matches. That's probably the best quality in these young kids. Their will to win is exemplary. This indicates that we have a good lot of players becoming better."
