Additionally, Canada, Mexico, and USA—all of which are the World Cup host nations for 2026 are vying for qualifications as they led the CONCACAF qualifiers final round, according to the SC official. Al Mawlawi highlighted that this was a unique opportunity to have all three nations in the football tournament. It would increase our country’s exposure to them and help in cultural exchange.

Until now, nearly 15 countries have qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2022 including the host nation, Qatar. The first phase of ticket sale began last months and fans have requested almost 1.2 million tickets within the first 24 hours of the sale going live.
