Notation for Saudi Arabia[edit]

Since there's an anonymous user refusing to discuss their change, I may as well bring this issue up here. @Santiago Claudio: As the other user involved in this issue of separating Saudi Arabia's result from the others in their group, what do you say about this issue? This would also affect United Arab Emirates at 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round since the same edits are being made there too.

@JalenFolf and Santiago Claudio: Perhaps we should use |note_KSA=Saudi Arabia has already qualified for the [[2027 AFC Asian Cup]] as the host nation in the group table. This will allow the note to stay with KSA regardless of position rather than possibly having to change the qualification column after each match day. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 18:21, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with this, and the same can be applied to the 2018 United Arab Emirates team as I described above. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:24, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Algeria to host these matches of Palestine?[edit]

Algeria is under jurisdiction of CAF, not AFC. Whenever coming to World Cup qualification, the only exemption comes when this is about intercontinental playoffs. Why is Algeria, an African country, hosting a World Cup qualification of an Asian member? FIFA has not confirmed how to work with it. HiddenFace101 (talk) 14:34, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Need some level of control over calendar schedule of the AFC second round[edit]

Consistent verbal fixing of users there are unthinkable. There are constant disruptive edits and fixing of calendar to fit some narratives. Very unacceptable when it is not a single qualification but a DUAL QUALIFICATION, meaning that AFC's schedule needs confirmation from FIFA to ensure the changes. Please keep the schedule remains intact. HiddenFace101 (talk) 07:35, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Syria v North Korea fixture reversals[edit]

Is there a source for this? The FIFA match link has not reversed the hosts (that is, the November clash is still listed as a North Korea home game and the 2024 match as Syria's) even though it is being played in Saudi Arabia (which, to be fair, does suggest it has been reversed). Any sort of link would be really useful to clarify - otherwise it would be quite appropriate to list the home as it is in the match report. I would note that the match links CAN be wrong (in round one the Indonesia venue was not updated in the FIFA links for some time after it had been noted by editors here) Again, sourcing these changes is really important if you don't want your edits reverted. 110.33.28.251 (talk) 06:04, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's listed as hosted by Syria in November on AFC's website, however, because this round is dual qualifying for World Cup and Asian Cup, it still needs to be reflected on FIFA's end, as stated by HiddenFace101 above. Jalen Folf (talk) 06:12, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It really doesn't need to be reflected by FIFA. If it's true it's true. FIFA had an incorrect venue listed for the first round for two weeks - even though the Indonesia FA Facebook page had a link to get tickets to the correct venue - so we don't need to just copy from FIFA if there is an issue. It needs a reference if it's unusual so we can confirm the difference - or at least assess the claim and make a decision. There actually was a "sort" of reference to this change added previously but it was deleted - which is unhelpful if it leads to incorrect information on the page. 110.33.28.251 (talk) 11:18, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@110.33.28.251: The FIFA match reports do actually show Syria hosting in November and North Korea hosting in June. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 15:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

mistake in the goalscorers section[edit]

for some reason, in the goal scorers section, ali al hammadi who scored 1 goal for iraq is not there and in his place is a Saudi player called Ibrahim Al-Zubaidi despite still having the iraqi flag. i don't know how to edit it, so can someone fix this mistake. thanks! 196.75.225.103 (talk) 00:04, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Faghani nationality[edit]

We already have a source describing Alireza Faghani's Australia representation here, and his Wiki article already has a sourced statement about Iran delisting him, so what source do some of you have to switch it to Iran here? Jalen Folf (talk) 23:49, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
