Syria’s senior men’s national team qualified for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup after beating Myanmar 3–0 in Matchday 4 of Asian qualifying.
Enab Baladi’s match follow-up showed a muted Syrian display before halftime. Myanmar’s goalkeeper saved Pablo Sabbagh’s only notable first-half effort and the interval arrived goalless.
Syria returned sharper after the break and immediately threatened, with an early chance rolling just wide. Mohammad al-Salkhadi missed from close range, and a Sabbagh goal was ruled out for handball. The breakthrough finally came after the 80th minute: Sabbagh struck twice, then al-Salkhadi sealed the result.
With this win, Syria qualified officially for the 2027 finals to be hosted by Saudi Arabia, marking a third consecutive Asian Cup qualification and the first time Syria have achieved three straight qualifications in the 21st century.
