Doha, Qatar: Qatar are set to take on Russia in their final friendly ahead of next month’s FIFA World Cup 2026 Asian play-offs, aiming to deliver a strong performance at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium today.
The match will be Qatar’s second and last friendly during the international break, following a 2-2 draw against Bahrain last week.
Al Annabi held their final training session yesterday under the guidance of head coach Julen Lopetegui at the match venue. All selected players took part in the light session as they finalised preparations for the clash.
Russia - ranked 35th in the world - are expected to provide a tougher test than Bahrain for the hosts, who currently sit 53rd in the FIFA rankings and have struggled to find top form in recent outings.
Qatar defender Ahmed Suhail said the team is ready for the challenge.
