For (only) two short days of training before the departure on the 16th in Doha and a first meeting against Australia scheduled for November 22, before Denmark (26/11) and Tunisia (30/11).

The regulations stipulate that each national team has the obligation to be present on site five days before its first match.
No friendly match is possible given the tight schedule and a World Cup contested for the first time in history in winter.
