Qatar Team – Game plan
The Qatar national team has entered the early and intensive pre-tournament training camp since middle of September. The coach, Félix Sánchez, has played friendlies against Canada, Chile, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Host is making sure that lack of preparation is not the excuse.
Before starting the World Cup, they have played 10 European friendlies, won the 2019 Asian Cup, performed well at the 2019 Copa América and reached the semi-finals of the 2021 Gold Cup.
Tough matches await us in the tournament. We will face very strong teams – teams that are used to being in the World Cup. If we display our best, we will be able to compete.
