Doha, Qatar: Despite a frustrating stalemate against Oman, Qatar remain confident of securing their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup as they swiftly shift their focus to Tuesday’s decider against the United Arab Emirates.
Julen Lopetegui’s side had to settle for a point in their Group A opener after a goalless draw with Oman on Wednesday, despite dominating the match.
The result has left the Asian champions in a must-win situation, with tomorrow’s second group match between the UAE and Oman also expected to play a crucial role in determining the fate of the three teams.
Only the group winners will secure automatic qualification from the play-off round — the fourth stage of the AFC Asian Qualifiers — which follows a single round-robin format.
The runners-up will face the second-placed side from Group B comprising hosts Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Indonesia in a two-legged play-off next month.
