Yesterday, Spanish coach Marquez Lopez, coach of the Qatari national football team, chose 26 players to face the UAE and North Korea in the first and second rounds of the third round of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
The Qatar Football Association revealed, through its account on the “X” platform, the summoned lineup, which included eight players from Al-Duhail, the leader of the Qatar Stars League, and the same number from its competitor, Al-Sadd.
