The technical staff of the Yemeni youth team denied the news circulated on social media regarding the exclusion of four players from the main roster of the team participating in the upcoming Asian Championship in September of this year.

The technical director of the youth team, Muhammad Al-Baadani, added in a statement to the website of the media center of the General Football Federation: The competition between all players is still fierce, and every player has the right to prove his right to continue as an essential element in the national team. There is no truth to what is being circulated...so what is being circulated... We are still continuing preparations in the internal camp, and the final list will be announced upon departure to Indonesia, God willing.
