Qatar vs UAE
The first group includes the teams: “UAE, Qatar, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, Uzbekistan.”
The first two teams from each group qualify directly for the World Cup, while the remaining two direct seats for the Asian continent will be determined through the fourth round in a continental play-off, while there will be a chance for an additional seat through a fifth round in the global play-off.
The Qatari team secured direct qualification to the third round after the second victory over Kuwait, so Lopez preferred to rest the main players and give a chance to a number of new young faces from the Qatari Olympic team players. The team tied with Afghanistan 0-0 on June 6, before achieving its final victory five days later over India with two goals to one in the final matches of this stage at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in the Qatari capital, Doha.
Spanish coach Marquez Lopez completed the matches of these qualifiers from the third round against Kuwait, after Portuguese Carlos Queiroz led the team in the first two matches against Afghanistan at Khalifa International Stadium on November 16, 2023, and achieved an 8-1 victory, then achieved a second consecutive victory over India at Kalinga Stadium five days later with a 3-0 result, but he was then surprisingly ousted just about a month before the start of the 2024 Asian Cup finals in Doha, which the Qatari team won the title for the second time in a row and the second time in its history as well after winning the 2019 edition.
The UAE national team qualified for the third round, after topping Group 7 in the second round of the qualifiers, through which it secured qualification for the Asian Cup in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2027.
The UAE national team collected 16 points in its group after winning 5 matches and drawing one match, as it defeated the Bahraini national team 2-0 in the first leg at the Bahrain National Stadium, and they tied in the second leg 1-1 at Al Wasl Club Stadium.
The UAE team beat Nepal 4-0 in the first leg and the same score in the second leg, and defeated Yemen 2-1 and 3-0.
The match between the UAE and Qatar is the fourth in the World Cup qualifiers, as the first match between them was in October 1989 and ended in a 1-1 draw, as part of the qualifiers for the 1990 World Cup. The Qatari team succeeded in winning the second match with two goals without a response in the first leg, in August 2001, which took place in the UAE, in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, and the UAE won the second leg with a score of 2-1 in October 2001.
