A top two finish in the competition will secure Czechia qualification for HSBC SVNS 2, which takes place across February and March in Nairobi, Montevideo and Sao Paolo.
The are three-tier HSBC SVNS season provides clarity of pathway and allows the world’s best teams to compete across three levels ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, California.
Czechia will depart for Dubai this Sunday and have five days to acclimatise to the conditions in the UAE.
“Our opening match against Thailand will be absolutely crucial,” Perrin said. “If we win, it will be good, if not it will be very difficult to succeed.
“We need to team to play well consistently to maintain a long-term high level of performance.”
