Abu Dhabi (WAM)
New Zealand national football team coach Danny Hay praised the preparation camp that the team set up in Abu Dhabi in preparation for the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Oceania. It has world-class facilities.
The New Zealand national team has been in a preparatory camp in Abu Dhabi since Monday, during which it played two friendly matches, the first against Algeria for local players, and New Zealand won 2-1, and won the second friendly match that was held on Tuesday against Gambia with two goals without a response.
Danny Hay said: “The preparatory camp was great in Abu Dhabi, and we are looking forward to preparing for the qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar next year.”
The New Zealand national football team had the opportunity to follow its national team during the Cricket World Cup, whose matches were held at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, while the football team trained at the multi-use stadiums of the Abu Dhabi Cricket Club.
About this, Hay said: “I was aware that the cricket team played at the main stadium in Abu Dhabi, and when we arrived here we had the opportunity to go to some matches, while we had a closer look at the football pitches before the start of the camp.”
