Doha: Al Annabi will take the pitch at 22:00pm local Doha time for their final group stage match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 against Bosnia and Herzogovina tonight.
Coach Julen Lopetegui has called on his players to embrace one final opportunity and fight for Qatar’s World Cup dream as Al Annabi meet Bosnia-Herzegovina in a must-win Group B clash in Seattle.
For Qatar, the equation is straightforward as they must secure three points in their final game to keep their chances alive for a place in the knockout stage.
After collecting their first-ever FIFA World Cup point in an encouraging 1-1 draw against Switzerland, Qatar’s campaign suffered a major setback with a crushing 6-0 defeat to Canada.
Yet with the expanded 48-team tournament offering places for the eight best third-placed sides in the Round of 32, their qualification chances exist.
A win over Bosnia would secure at least third place in Group B and keep alive hopes of advancing beyond the group stage for the first time in Qatar’s history.
