The UAE's must-win 2018 World Cup qualifier with Australia is the big story on The National Sport front page on Tuesday, March 28.

The national team face Australia on Tuesday (kick-off 1pm UAE time), knowing a defeat would make their chances of qualifying for next summer’s World Cup in Russia a near-impossible task.

The National's Paul Radley is in Sydney to cover the game and has provided full preview coverage, including the thoughts from both UAE manager Mahdi Ali, and Australia manager Ange Postecoglou, the key battles that could define the tie, and a story on the special visit by Princess Haya ahead of the game.
