Featured in Sri Lanka: Ahmed Waseem Razeek, continue growing with his country
Ahmed Waseem Razeek (#13) is a 29-year-old player, he plays in the midfield position and is one of the best players on the team. He had a great time in Germany, standing out for Union Berlin for three seasons, currently playing for the Hong Kong first division for the Eastern District team. With his national soccer team he has managed to score 9 goals in 19 games played. He is a young player and we have not yet seen the best of him on the field.
Featured in Papua New Guinea: Tommy Semmy, the best player on the team
Forward Tommy Semmy (# 13) is only 29 years old, his career has grown too much since its beginnings, starting with his country's league, space was opening up and now he plays in the Australian first division with Altona Magic SC . He is a player with a lot of physical strength, speed and, above all, great condition to not stop running all the time during the game. In 9 games played with the national football team he has scored three goals and it is very likely that we will see him scoring on Friday against Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka: one goal in mind
The local team, Sri Lanka, has one goal in mind and that is to qualify for a world cup. On these dates they have two matches planned against Bhutan and Papua New Guinea, where they will test young players and begin to plan their training for future tournaments. Their last game was on October 17, 2024, they tied 1-1 against Yemen at the Race Course International Stadium and thus lost in the first round of World Cup qualifying. They are not the favorites to win the match, they play at home against one of the best teams in Oceania, however, they have an advantage by playing at home and that their fans can support them.
Papua New Guinea: preparation to be the best in Oceania
Papua New Guinea is preparing for the OFC Nations Cup, where it was runner-up in the last edition and seeks revenge against New Zealand in the tournament that begins this year. He prepared two matches for this FIFA date, the matches are against Sri Lanka and the Central African Republic, where he will seek to test new players and strategies. Their last game was on November 30, 2023, they lost 2 to 0 against Tahiti at the SIFF Academy Field 1 and thus achieved their last defeat of 2023. They are the favorites to win, although they play as a visitor they have a team with a lot of talent and a lot of experience.
The stadium
The Colombo Racecourse is located in the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka. It will be the venue for this match and has a capacity of 20,500 spectators.
