FIFA World Cup: FIFA World Cup LIVE: The FIFA World Cup returns in 2022 after its last stint in Russia, with Qatar now playing the role of host. A lot of talk about where the tournament will be played, but at the end of the day, it will all boil down to the football played during the 90 minutes out on the turf. The hosts have not historically been the team that went on to win the cup, and this time seems no different, but let’s dive a little deeper into Qatar’s team, who will be playing their first World Cup.

Qatar’s Team
Football, as a sport, is still developing in the Middle East and hence, it has yet to peak its potential, but Qatar has shown glimpses of what it can be capable of. They have some veterans in their squad who have crossed 100 caps and have experience under their belt. Even though most of their players ply their domestic trade in Qatar, they have been getting good results and also triumphed in 2019 by winning the Asian Cup for the first time. Safe to say, the Qataris will believe that they can cause an upset in Group A.

FIFA World Cup – Group – A
The hosts are packed in Group-A with Netherlands, Senegal, and Ecuador by their side. It is a fairly competitive group with all teams holding a chance to get out of it alive. Qatar kick-off the 2022 edition against Ecuador on 20th November 2022. Following this, they play Senegal on the 25th and the Netherlands on the 29th of the month.
Qatar Team News
Qatar does not boast a squad full of superstars like France, but they do have a decent roster of names. The star for them would be their skipper, Hassan Al-Haydos, with 165 caps to his name. He will be leading the attack and will be hoping to score when it matters the most.
Karim Boudiaf, their lynchpin in midfield with over 100 caps will also be instrumental for the hosts. Abdelkarim Hassan and Boualem Khoukhi will be marshaling their defense too. Saad Al Sheeb will ensure no one manages to breach his goalposts. The team should be built around these players to ensure that the hosts have a chance to make it out of Group-A.
