AFC Asian Cup
At stake is the sole remaining spot at next year’s continental showpiece, with Madjid Bougherra’s Lebanon side on 13 points, two ahead of Yemen, and in pole position to make a third consecutive Finals appearance.
When they met in the reverse fixture in June 2025, Lebanon dominated but could not find a way past a resolute Yemen defence as the tie ended in a goalless stalemate.
Yemen head coach Nourredine Ali will look to take the game to Lebanon as they go in search of a win that will see them reach the AFC Asian Cup after gracing the 2019 edition.
The reward for the side that advances will be a spot in Group E with Korea Republic, United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.
