Qatar World Cup history
Qatar's only previous World Cup was as hosts in 2022, where they lost all three group games and became the worst-performing host in tournament history. The 2026 edition is their first qualification earned on the pitch, via the AFC route.
What to know for 2026
- Qualified by topping their AFC fourth-round group, beating the UAE 2-1 in Doha.
- Two-time reigning Asian Cup champions (2019, 2023), so this is a confident, settled squad.
- Rely on talisman Akram Afif and all-time top scorer Almoez Ali; a first-ever World Cup win is the target.
