The Qatar National Football Team is proud to have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a tough qualification campaign, where they faced strong teams like Iran, Uzbekistan, and the UAE. The team has started a new phase with Spanish coach Xavi's compatriot, Julen Lopetegui, who has brought a new spirit to the team. Akram Afif, Almoez Ali, Hassan Al-Haydos, and Meshal Barsham are some of the key players in the team, who have played together for many years. Qatar will play in a complex group that includes Switzerland, Canada, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, but the team has more experience than it did in 2022. Today, Qatar no longer sees football as just a sport, but as part of a larger project related to identity, global image, political and economic ambition. From the Aspire Academy to the Asian Cup to hosting the World Cup, and then qualifying again for the 2026 World Cup, the story seems like a long chapter in a project that wants to prove that big dreams are not related to the size of countries, but to the size of ambition. Veteran striker Sebastian Soria may become the oldest outfield player to participate in the World Cup, surpassing the historic record of Cameroon's Roger Milla. The Qatar National Football Team is proud to have qualified for the 2026 World Cup and looks forward to achieving positive results in the tournament.
