Team Overview

The Qatar national football team (Arabic: منتخب قطر لكرة القدم), nicknamed "The Maroons", represents Qatar in international football, and is controlled by the Qatar Football Association, which is affiliated with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and comes under the global jurisdiction of world football’s governing body FIFA. They play their home games at Jassim bin Hamad Stadium. The latter is considered the home stadium. Qatar hosted the 2022 FIFA World Cup and therefore qualified automatically for what was their first appearance in the event. Amidst the controversy, it was the first time an Arab nation hosted the competition. On 25 November 2022, Qatar were the first team to be eliminated from the World Cup; subsequently, they became the worst performing host nation in the history of the FIFA World Cup, losing every game. On 14 October 2025, Qatar qualified directly for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a 2–1 victory over the United Arab Emirates.
