Although the treatment of our first national football team, rebuilding it again, and correcting its path in the next stage depends on the identity of the new coach, and on the program to prepare it to resume its matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers next March, the treatment requires at the same time a major role on the part of the clubs, especially the participating ones. In foreign tournaments, which play an important role in preparing the team in light of the great pressure of the local and international calendar and the difficulty of holding friendly matches to prepare the team for the qualifying matches in which we all still have hope. In order to qualify directly by obtaining second place in the first group, which includes Iran (16 points), Uzbekistan (13 points), the Emirates (10 points), and Annabi (7 points).
With a quick glance at the position of our participating teams on the continent, we will find that Al-Sadd is the closest so far to qualifying for the round of 16 in the AFC Champions League for the elite, as it occupies fourth place with 12 points, and it is the closest Qatari team that is close to qualifying after it presented a distinguished performance and level led by the great star Akram Afif.
While Al Rayyan and Al Gharafa fell significantly to the bottom positions, making their qualification very difficult, although the opportunity still exists, as Al Rayyan occupies seventh place with 5 points, and Al Gharafa tenth with 4 points. Al Rayyan and Al Gharafa did not perform as expected of them, which could reflect positively on Al Annabi if they perform at the required levels and achieve the desired results.
Al-Wakrah remains the qualifier for the round of 16 in the AFC Champions League 2, which will meet Al-Taawoun Saudi Arabia in the next stage. Although Al-Wakrah qualified, in the last matches it did not perform at the desired levels, and its Qatari stars did not perform at the level that everyone desires, which must ultimately be in the interest of Al-Anabi. .
There is also Al-Arabi, which participates in the Gulf Champions League, and which failed its fans and the Qatari football fans in general, as it achieved only one point from a single draw and lost the rest of its matches to Al-Ettifaq of Saudi Arabia (twice) and Al-Riffa of Bahrain.
These five teams are required in the next stage to work to raise the level and to better equip Qatari players, especially international players, to help Al-Anabi in its national mission, which is borne by all teams, whether participating continentally or whose activities are limited to participating in the I want to star league.
Continental activity will return next February through the remaining rounds of the AFC Champions League for the elite, and the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League 2, in addition to the resumption of the Gulf Champions League, and the period remaining until the resumption of continental activity is sufficient and sufficient for the clubs and their bodies to rearrange their cards and to contribute better in the next stage. For Annabi, it needs the excellence and brilliance of its international players.
