On the evening of October 14, Syria defeated Myanmar 3-0 right on their opponent's field in the fourth match of Group E of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Syria is the 19th team to participate in the 2027 Asian Cup.

With this result, the Syrian football team officially registered their name as the first team to win a ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup from the third qualifying round. This is a proud milestone, affirming the strength and progress of Syrian football on the continental arena.

In the final qualifying round, Syria showed impressive form, surpassing opponents such as Myanmar, Afghanistan and Pakistan to win a total of 12 points after 4 matches. They are 6 points ahead of the second-placed team, Myanmar, with only two matches left in the qualifying round. In addition, Syria also won all two matches against Myanmar. The 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers count head-to-head matches before goal difference.

Despite the country's ongoing turmoil, the Syrian national team has secured a spot in Asia's most prestigious tournament. The 2027 Asian Cup has already qualified 18 teams, including host Saudi Arabia and 17 others who qualified for the 2026 World Cup through their performance in the qualifying round.
