The Emirates Football Team, fourth in Group B after two matches, take on Thailand at the Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium on October 6 for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

The UAE, ranked 66th in the world by Fifa, began the third and final qualification stage with a shock 2-1 victory in Japan at the start of this month, before suffering a 1-0 defeat to Australia in Abu Dhabi five days later.
The two top teams automatically qualify for the 2018 World Cup, while the third-placed side go into a play-off against the third-placed side from Group A. The winner then meets a Concacaf nation to decide who secures a spot in Russia. The UAE have participated at a World Cup only once before, in 1990.

UAE squad: Majed Naser, Abdulaziz Haikal, Abdulaziz Sanqour, Walid Abbas, Khamis Esmail, Habib Fardan, Ismail Al Hammadi, Ahmed Khalil (Al Ahli), Khaled Essa, Mohanad Salem, Ismail Ahmed, Mohammed Fayez, Omar Abdulrahman, Amer Abdulrahman, Saeed Al Kathiri (Al Ain), Ali Kasheif, Mohammed Fawzi, Ali Mabkhout (Al Jazira), Hamdan Al Kamali (Al Wahda), Salem Saleh, Tariq Ahmed (Al Nasr), Hassan Ibrahim (Al Shabab), Haboush Saleh (Baniyas).
