As Qatar intensify preparations for the 2026 World Cup, they face Central American giants El Salvador for the first time in five years in their final preparatory match.
The 2022 World Cup hosts beat El Salvador 1-0 in an international friendly back in July 2021, before meeting them again the same month in the Gold Cup. The Arab nation went on to win 3-2 in the 2021 Gold Cup quarter-finals.
Qatar face Switzerland in their World Cup opener next week, and enter this match following a 1-0 friendly loss to Ireland last week.
They have no notable absentees or injury worries on their hands. The same goes for Hernan Dario Gomez’s El Salvador, who are at full strength.
El Selecta suffered their heaviest World Cup qualification defeat in 25 years as Suriname fired four past them, eliminating them from contention for the 2026 edition.
They played South Korea most recently, with Lee Dong-Gyeong’s 57th minute strike at the America First Field condemning them to a 1-0 defeat.
It marked their first loss in three games. However, they have tasted defeat seven times in their last 10 matches across all competitions.
El Salvador will take this opportunity to prepare for their debut in the 2026/27 CONCACAF Nations League and Gold Cup.
