Qatar at World Cup 2026 — Group B & Route
Qatar’s group stage 2026 draw placed them in Group B: Switzerland (#17), Canada (#38, co-host) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (#71). Qatar World Cup 2026 fixtures run across three stadiums in two countries — no home advantage. In WC2026’s 48-team format, the top two advance automatically; a third-place finish requires ranking among the eight best third-placed sides.

Qatar Squad & Key Players
Qatar’s squad World Cup 2026 is built entirely from Qatar Stars League (QSL) clubs — no player earns his living in a top-five European division. Coach Julen Lopetegui brings the tactical discipline of a former Spain manager. The key players WC2026 scouts focus on won back-to-back Asian Cups in 2019 and 2023. Final squad confirmed 2 June 2026, no injuries.
- Akram Afif (Al Sadd, 29) — left winger; two-time AFC Player of the Year (2019, 2023); 8 goals at the 2023 Asian Cup; 11 qualifying assists — most in the entire Asian zone
- Almoez Ali (Al-Duhail, 29) — Qatar’s all-time top scorer; scored 12 goals in WC2026 Asian qualifying, the best individual tally in the region; the target man the attack is built around
- Hassan Al-Haydos (Al Sadd, 34) — captain; Qatar’s most-capped player ever; led the team to both Asian Cup victories and was personally requested by Lopetegui to provide experience and dressing-room stability
- Mohammed Muntari (Al Gharafa, 27) — Qatar’s only scorer at WC2022 (goal vs Senegal, 78th minute); powerful centre-forward and the alternative plan when space is tight
- Assim Madibo (Al-Wakrah) — defensive midfielder and the backbone of Qatar’s midfield press; provides the ball-winning work rate that frees the attackers
- Karim Boudiaf (Al-Duhail) — experienced holding midfielder; partners Madibo in a double pivot, adding positional discipline in the Lopetegui system
