On Monday, the Lithuanian national team is facing a friendly match with the Kuwait team, and the host team's strategist Valdas Ivanauskas intends to experiment in the game. "We will be trying out many new players, the team has really put in a lot of effort, I see their current standing after the game in Ireland. Saturday was purely a recovery day and the team will need to prepare, but players who played less will definitely get their chance and will have to prove that they are worthy of the Lithuanian national team," the coach said. At the moment, the Kuwait national team ranks only 142nd in the FIFA rankings (Lithuanians - 135), but in its best times it had reached astronomical heights. From 1993 to 2006, the Kuwaitis remained among the top 100 national teams on the planet, and in 1998 they even climbed to 24th place. In 2017, the Kuwait national team plummeted to record lows and dropped to 189th place. 210 teams are classified in the FIFA rankings. The match on Monday will start at 19:00 at the LFF stadium, admission is free, you can pick up invitations by clicking here.
