The Qatar national football team represents Qatar in association football. It has appeared in 10 Asian Cup tournaments and won it once in 2019. It played its home games at Khalifa International Stadium and Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.

Host status secured Qatar’s route to the FIFA 2022 World Cup, as they break new ground in the competition with their first appearance on the main stage.
Despite the controversy over FIFA’s decision to select Qatar as the competition host, the Middle East now awaits its first World Cup, with Qatar under pressure to perform.
A lack of World Cup pedigree is a major factor against Felix Sanchez’s side, but hosts have risen to the challenge before in unlikely circumstances. They shocked Asia by winning the most recent AFC Asian Cup in 2019.
Group A pits them against Ecuador, Senegal, and the Netherlands, and Sanchez will surely not be dismissing the chance of an upset.
Final Qatar World Cup squad 2022
Sanchez had until Friday, October 21 to submit an official preliminary list of 35-55 players to FIFA, and from there he selected his final 26-man roster announced on Nov. 11, a few days ahead of the FIFA deadline.
