The Qatar national football team suffered a heavy loss against Canada in the FIFA World Cup 2026. The Qatari team lost the match 0-6, in the second round of the group stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026 currently being held in America and Mexico. The match saw two Qatari players sent off, the first for obstructing a Canadian striker and preventing him from scoring, and the second for a rough tackle. The score before the first sending off in the 33rd minute was 2-0 in favor of Canada, before they added a third goal before the end of the first half. After the second sending off, the Qatari team conceded three more goals, ending the match with a 0-6 loss. Tunisian refereeing expert Amin Barkallah said that the referee made a mistake in sending off Qatari defender Hamam in the first half of the match. Barkallah added that the defender did not obstruct the striker, and therefore considered the referee's decision to be incorrect. The loss left the Qatari team at the bottom of the group with one point and a goal difference of -6, behind Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has the same points, and behind Canada and Switzerland, which lead with 4 points. The Qatari team needs to win its third and final match against Bosnia with a comfortable goal difference, in the hope of competing for second place if one of Canada or Switzerland wins against the other in the third round, or competing for a card among the best third-placed teams in the worst case. The heavy loss for the Qatari team against Canada came after a poor performance from the team, which was unable to deliver a good level in the match. The Qatari team is now looking for a win in its final match to improve its chances of advancing to the next round.
