The Myanmar national team will play two World Cup qualifiers in March and one World Cup qualifier in June, and thus training is set to begin this month. The Myanmar national team will play against Japan on 25 March as part of the remaining world cup qualifiers.
On 30 March, the team Myanmar will play against Kyrgyzstan at their home and also play away match against Tajikistan on 15 June.
