The Qatar national football team has become the first team participating in the 2022 World Cup to lose a chance of reaching the knockout stages of the tournament.
This became known after the Netherlands team played a 1-1 draw with the team of Ecuador in the match of the second round of the 2022 World Cup group stage.
After this result, the Qatar national team lost their chances of qualifying from group “A”.
The Netherlands and Ecuador have scored 4 points each and are tied for first and second in group “A”. Senegal is in third position with 3 points. Closes the table Qatar, which failed to score points. The distance to the first two teams is 4 points, which is impossible to win back in one round.
Thus, the Qatar team became the second host of the World Cup, which could not pass the group stage. Earlier, at the first stage, the South African team completed its performances at the home world championship in 2010.
Let us note that this is the first World Cup for the Qatar team.
