About Qatar
Snapshot of Qatar's 2026 squad and outlook.
Qatar return to the World Cup for the second time, having been eliminated in the group stage as hosts in 2022 - the first host nation to suffer that fate. The 2022 AFC Asian Cup champions, led by the brilliant Akram Afif and prolific striker Almoez Ali, have shown significant improvement since that difficult tournament. Group B at the 2026 FIFA World Cup pits them against Canada, Switzerland, and Bosnia and Herzegovina - a tough group, but Qatar's technical quality and continental tournament experience make them competitive. A point or two and a respectful performance would represent significant progress for Qatari football.
