Rated 151st in the world by the International Football Federation (Fifa), the
Azkals got No. 173 Sri Lanka for their 1st round opponent in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers in the event the Asian Football Confederation carried out the official draw the other day at its office in Malaysia.
Should they get past the Sri Lankans in the home-and-away encounter, the
Azkals will move forward towards second round against No. 103 Kuwait, a far more organized football nation that created 1 World Cup finals appearance (1982) and qualified for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
