Sad exit for the under-18

The Qatar under-18 squad wasted a valuable chance to qualify for the 2010 AFC Under-19 Championships on Tuesday when they lost their final Qualifying match to Bahrain.

The only goal of the game came in the 59th minute through Saad Al Amri.
UAE topped Group B with four wins out of four matches to qualify to the finals along with second-placed Syria.

Bahrain who finished third still have a chance to go through as one of two best third-placed teams, but they will have to wait till the end of qualifying stage (November 17th) to know their fate.

The last appearance for Qatar in the AFC Under-19 Championships was in 2004 when they reached the Quarter finals stage before losing on penalties to Japan.
