Myanmar host Macau at the Thuwunna Stadium in Yangon on Thursday for the first leg of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying first-round tie.
Twenty Asian sides, ranked from 27 to 46 in the AFC region, will compete for a place in the second round of the qualifiers, with the group stage draw having already been completed.
The winner between Myanmar and Macau will play in Group B alongside Japan, Syria, and North Korea in the second round of the qualifiers.
Ranked 161st in the world, Myanmar have never reached the FIFA World Cup finals. The Chinte have never progressed beyond the second round of the qualifiers and have gone out in the first round once.
Michael Feichtenbeiner's side come into their latest fixture on the back of three unbeaten games and will hope to continue that form in the qualifiers this week.
