For their part, West Asia is no stranger to the climate, having set up their home ground in Sharjah, UAE, in the second half of the Top 40. According to the weather forecast, the September 2 match against the Australian men's soccer team will be another hot one in Doha, Qatar, with daytime temperatures ranging between 33°C and 42°C. The match is scheduled for 4 p.m. local time, which is also one of the hottest times of the day in Doha.
In order to cope with the 42℃ high temperature in Qatar, CFA has been communicating and negotiating with Qatar Football Association (QFA), and finally came the good news: QFA, according to the request of CFA and Australian Football Association (AFA), finally decided to play the match in Khalifa World Stadium with air-conditioning equipment.

They will play at a comfortable temperature of more than 20 degrees Celsius and will be able to maximize their true level of performance. Organizers say the temperature at the Khalifa World Stadium can be lowered quickly thanks to "reusable cooling technology". A total of 3,000 cool air vents in the stadium blow in cooled night air quickly, and the stadium has a roof and is designed as a monolithic structure, which is very effective in controlling the temperature.

However, it is doubtful whether the Qatar Football Association (QFA) will agree to the teams' daily training in air-conditioned stadiums due to the high cost of the fees associated with the use of air-conditioned stadiums.

The CFA does not rule out the possibility of negotiating with the local authorities to extend the training time to the evening.
