The Syrian national football team is facing South Sudan in the Arab Cup qualifiers.

The Syrian national football team is aiming to qualify for the Arab Cup tournament, which is purportedly scheduled to take place in December of this year in Qatar through the qualifying rounds. The qualified teams have been selected based on the official international ranking of these teams. All qualifying matches will be played as single matches, with the winners advancing to the finals. The draw between the teams was conducted earlier this week by the organizing committee. The draw paired the Syrian team with the South Sudan national team, which is from the third tier of African teams and is considered a challenging team undergoing continuous development. The date and neutral venue for the match have not been determined yet. It is worth mentioning that the remaining qualifying matches will see the following teams face each other: Palestine vs. Yemen, Mauritania vs. Sudan, Kuwait vs. Comoros, Bahrain vs. Djibouti, Oman vs. Somalia, and Lebanon vs. Libya.
