Lopetegui exits Maroons
Sources close to *Al Sharq* newspaper said that Qatar’s friendly match against South Korea, scheduled for next Tuesday, will be Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui’s last with the national team, known as Al Annabi, after the Qatar Football Association and the National Teams Committee finalized their decision to part ways with him. The decision came after Qatar’s 3–0 loss to Australia and dissatisfaction with the team’s results since Lopetegui took charge in May 2025, including its first-round exit from the Arab Cup and its semifinal exit from the Gulf Cup. The team also finished the 2026 World Cup with one point, after losing 6–0 to Canada and 3–0 to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The association is seeking a replacement for the coach in the coming days.
