Khaberni - Julen Lopetegui, the coach of the Qatar national team, announced the starting lineup for the match against Canada in the second round of the group stage in the 2026 World Cup.
The Qatari team enters the match seeking their first win in the tournament, after starting their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Switzerland in the opening round, while Canada aims to continue its good results after drawing with Bosnia and Herzegovina by a similar score.
The Qatari team relies on the experience of its stars, foremost among them Akram Afif, to achieve a positive result that enhances its chances of reaching the knockout stages for the first time in its history.
The match is expected to see a strong conflict between the two teams, especially since any further slip could complicate the qualification calculations before the third and final round of the group competitions.
