Qatar ready for UAE 2019
5th January 2019
Al Ain: Qatar have arrived landed in Al Ain for their AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 challenge.
The squad, led by head coach Felix Sanchez, arrived on Saturday ahead of their opening Group E match against Lebanon on Wednesday.
Qatar, despite losing 2-1 to Islamic Republic of Iran in their final friendly, have enjoyed fine form in the build-up to the Continental showpiece and will be a team to watch.
They will be seeking to better their previous best of having finished as quarter-finalists twice - in 1988 and 2011 - in their 10th appearance in the AFC Asian Cup.
After Lebanon, Qatar will meet DPR Korea on January 13 before completing their group stage fixtures against Saudi Arabia four days later.
