With the start of the March camp, which is the first camp to prepare our first national football team for the 2026 World Cup, the Spanish team coach, Julen Lopetegui, begins building and preparing our team for this international battle in order to honor Qatari football, and in order to compensate for the results achieved in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which were not satisfactory as it ended with three losses to the Netherlands, Costa Rica and Senegal, with Annabi bidding farewell to the first round.
With the start of early preparation, the stability of the technical staff, and Lopetegui’s knowledge of all Qatari players, the Qatari fans hope that our team will perform well during the 2026 World Cup and achieve good results in the first round that will help it reach the round of 32 at the very least.
The opportunity appears to be available for Annabi to reach the round of 32, as it needs one victory in order to qualify as one of the best 3 teams in all groups.
Perhaps the conditions were not good in the current camp after the cancellation of the matches between Serbia and Argentina, due to the events taking place in the region. These two matches were very important given the reputation and name of the Serbian and Argentinian teams, but there is great hope that they will be compensated with other strong matches in the next stage, and there is also great hope in finding a strong match during the current March that will contribute to the great work being done by the Spanish coach.
Lopetegui does not have any arguments regarding the players after the ranks were completed for the first time in a long time, and he is required to extract all his training energies and football ideas, to build a new personality for Annabi capable of competing with the top teams in the largest football event in the world.
The Qatari fans are waiting for the building of a team that is strong in all aspects, has its own personality, and also has its own playing strategy.
At the same time, our fans are waiting for the players on the list to redouble their efforts, devote themselves to training, and exert their utmost effort during training. The responsibility does not fall on the coach alone, but also falls on the players who must be at the same level and try to be creative and dedicated in the test matches in order to reach the level that qualifies them to be strong competitors in our strong group that includes Switzerland, Canada, and the team that qualifies from the European playoff.
