Oman have never qualified for the finals of a World Cup, so it was not a surprise when they failed to progress to the 2022 tournament, which is due to officially get underway on Sunday.

The Reds finished fourth in their Group B qualification section, one point behind third-place Australia, so they can certainly take encouragement from their campaign, even if it did not bring the desired outcome.

Oman won four, drew two and lost four of their 10 qualification fixtures in Group B, which included a 2-0 victory over China in their last competitive match back in March.

Branko Ivankovic's side have played four friendlies since then, beating Nepal and Iraq, in addition to drawing with New Zealand and losing 1-0 to Jordan last time out.

阿曼队从未获得过世界杯决赛圈的资格，因此他们未能进入2022年世界杯也就不足为奇了。2022年世界杯将于周日正式开幕。

红军在B组预选赛中排名第四，落后第三名的澳大利亚1分，所以他们当然可以从他们的表现中得到鼓舞，即使这没有带来预期的结果。

阿曼在B组的10场预选赛中取得4胜2平4负，其中包括在3月份的最后一场比赛中2-0战胜中国队。

此后，伊万科维奇的球队共踢了四场友谊赛，分别击败了尼泊尔和伊拉克，此外还战平了新西兰，上次0 - 1负于约旦。
