sri lanka vs azkals

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.


“I think we got a favorable draw versus Sri Lanka due to their lower 173 ranking. But should we win, we'll have it more difficult since we will probably be up against Kuwait,” stated Philippine Football Federation president Nonong Araneta, who monitored the draw via world wide web in Los Baños, Laguna where he, team manager Dan Palami and coach Michael Weiss graced the kickoff of the PFF Suzuki U-23 National Cup Luzon leg.
