DUBAI, UAE - Welcome to the Dubai Sports City complex in Dubai, UAE, as we bring you live updates from the Navy Blues first friendly match ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup against First Division club Al-Ittihad SC.
The Navy Blues landed in the UAE just over a day ago and have trained twice prior to this game so expect to see the full use of coach Ramon Tribulietx's squad as the players get their first opportunity to shake the 17-hour flight out of their legs.
