Welcome to Sportstar's highlights of the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying match between Qatar and India, held at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha. Aneesh Dey was here to walk you through all of the build-up to the match and minute-by-minute updates.
In today's (June 11) FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier final round round at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, India's football squad will play Qatar. In the last meeting between the two teams, Asian Champions Qatar won 3-0 to break India's 15-match home unbeaten record.
With record goal scorer Sunil Chhetri having retired from international football last week, India would have their work cut out for them today when they take on Qatar, ranked 34th in the world.

India's scenarios and chances for FIFA World Cup 2026 qualification
- For the Blue Tigers, a result is a must today. If they lose against Qatar, they will be eliminated from the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers third round.
- Then, India will battle it out for a spot in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers' third-round matches for a place at the 2027 tournament in Saudi Arabia.
What if India beat Qatar today
- If India beat Asian giants Qatar, they will be in pole position to make it to the third round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and a direct spot at the AFC Asian Cup thanks to their much-superior goal difference over Afghanistan.
What if India play a draw against Qatar
India will only advance to the third round if their encounter against Qatar ends in a draw, as will the match between Kuwait and Afghanistan, which is scheduled to begin in Kuwait City two hours after India's match.
Under those circumstances, India will share second place in the group with Afghanistan with six points, but with a superior goal differential.

football match prediction between Qatar and Namibia
The Asian powerhouse is too strong for the Indian team, hence Qatar will begin as the clear favourite to win. However, while the game is still being played, no team may be called out. The Blue Tigers do not have a striker in Sunil Chhetri's absence, but they can be encouraged by the fact that Qatar, the group winners who have already advanced to the third round, have selected a squad that is primarily young—21 of their 29 players are under the age of 24.
