National football team Qatar

The first time Qatar competed in the World Cup was in 19, where they defeated Bahrain 2 -0 at home Doha. They competed unsuccessfully in trying to qualify for this tournament. However, in October 2022, Qatar also became a host country for the World Cup, becoming the first team in the Middle East to host this tournament. In 1980, they competed in the Asian Cup for the first time after qualifying for the group stage against Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Qatar has stopped in the final round after they lost 2 matches, drew 1 match and won 1 match. At the 2000 Asian Cup, Qatar, although only ranked 3rd in the group stage, lost to China in the quarterfinals. They closed the 20th century by finishing with a Top 10 achievement in all Asian Cups. After that, this team showed signs of declining form when it only ranked 14th in both 2004 and 2007 periods. In 2011, Qatar became the host country and re-established its achievements in the quarterfinals of the Continent. At the Asian Cup 2019, Qatar had a makeover and breakthrough in competition.
