Had a look.. couple of European sides next month don’t have World Cup qualifiers on.. hmm

Yipe would be useful to play a top 50 ranking team, well drilled and a cut above Curacao or Bahrain. 

Would also be nice to play on a truer surface than one in Manama, and cooler conditions. See if AWs can play the high press for longer, with better ball movement.

Google tells me av March temps in Qatar (OFC tourney) are in mid 20s range, so a bit cooler than Bahrain was.

Though the away leg of June Intercontinental Playoffs (NH summer) could well be somewhere steamy (if avoid CONMEBOL). So certainly some merit in playing these simulation friendlies somewhere toasty hot.

Sooner the Intercontinental Playoff draw is made the better. Apparently this month, read somewhere.
