The national football team suffered a painful blow in the Qatar match, as two of its players were confirmed absent from the upcoming match with Iran in the seventh round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, scheduled for next March 20.
Marcos Meloni and Majid Rashid will miss the next match between the Whites in the qualifiers after they each received a yellow card in the first half of the Qatar match, which is their second card after they received two cards in the Kyrgyzstan match in the last round.
The national team coach was forced to replace Majed Rashid at the beginning of the second half for fear of receiving a red card, and he replaced Issam Fayez.
