AFC U17 Asian Cup
Korea Republic lead the standings with four points, with Vietnam and Yemen sit a point behind, while United Arab Emirates, who have a point, are still mathematically in contention.
Korea Republic v Yemen
Venue: King Abdullah Sports City Training Stadium (Pitch B) (Jeddah)
Kick-off: Wednesday, 20:00 (UTC+3)
A draw will be enough for Korea Republic to secure their place in the knockout stage after the East Asians defeated Vietnam 4-1 on Matchday Two.
They will, however, want to avoid the drama seen in both their earlier matches where they had to come from behind to salvage a point against UAE before scoring four times in the closing minutes to see off Vietnam's challenge.

#AFCU17 - Group C: Vietnam 1-4 Korea Republic
Yemen, meanwhile, will be in a buoyant mood after their sensational win on Matchday Two.
Denied at least a share of the points by a late Indonesia goal in their opening encounter, the West Asian side fought back from behind to stun UAE 3-2 and will seek another resounding performance to not only advance to the knockout stage but also book their ticket to the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2026.

Vietnam v UAE
Venue: King Abdullah Sports City Hall Stadium (Jeddah)
Kick-off: Wednesday, 19:00 (UTC+3)
The equation is simple for Vietnam – victory will secure progression to the knockout stage regardless of the result in the other fixture.
The Southeast Asian side, however, must remain focused and avoid the lapses in concentration that cost them so dearly against Korea Republic.

#AFCU17 - Group C: UAE 2-3 Yemen
Three points will be UAE's only option after allowing wins to slip through their fingers in both their earlier matches.
A late goal conceded saw them having to settle for a point with Korea Republic while they could not keep a marauding Yemen at bay as their West Asian rivals took the win despite having trailed. UAE can't afford similar lapses if they are to advance to the next stage for the second consecutive year.
