Qatar and Iran prepare to face off in a crucial Group A match in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Asian Qualifiers in Dubai’s Rashid Stadium this evening.
This match renews the intense match between the two teams, which was last highlighted in the AFC Asian Cup semi-final in February, where Qatar emerged victorious with a narrow 3-2 win at Qatar’s Al Thumama Stadium.
Currently ranked 19th in the FIFA standings, Iran enters the game as the favorite despite their struggles in the qualifying round, having netted only two goals thus far. With seven points in the group, Iran is positioned second, trailing Uzbekistan only on goal difference, while Qatar, ranked 44th, aims to upset the odds and claim a crucial win.
