The Bahrain National Football team coach Miroslav Soukup has announced his final 23-man squad for the upcoming AFC Asian Cup 2019 set to go ahead at the United Arab Emirates.
Perennial Group Stage finishers Bahrain return to the AFC Asian Cup, hoping to do better than the last three editions. On all those occasions, the West Asian side could not make it past the Group Stages.
However, Bahrain’s best ever finish in the Cup itself might surprise a few people. The Reds went as far as the Semifinals of the 2004 edition of the competition, eventually losing to Japan by the scoreline, 4-3. They then lost to Iran in the third place play-off to finish fourth.
This time around, Bahrain are grouped together with India, Thailand, and hosts UAE, and will look to take advantage of the changed format.
Here are the 23 men selected to represent Bahrain in the upcoming AFC Asian Cup:
