Player to Watch: Akram Afif (Qatar)

Player to Watch: Akram Afif (Qatar)

Kuala Lumpur: Qatar’s prospects in international football for nearly a decade have been intricately linked with how Akram Afif fares for the Maroons – such has been the influence of the 27-year-old winger who will look to replicate the magic of 2019 at the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023™.

In the 18th edition of the continental showpiece, Qatar will be defending their maiden title and also have the added weight of expectation as the hosts. There's also a new man in charge, Marquez Lopez, who replaced Carlos Queiroz this month and is their third head coach in under a year. 
 
But several members of the 2019 squad still remain as the mainstays of the team, including captain Hassan Al Haydos, Boualem Khoukhi, Almoez Ali, Bassam Al Rawi and, of course, Afif who registered a tournament record 10 assists during Qatar’s continental conquest four years ago.
