Qatar will take on Iraq in an international friendly at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium today.
The game against Iraq will be Qatar’s first of four friendlies this month before the national side takes on Iran in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying game on September 1.
Coached by Daniel Carreno, Qatar kicked off training sessions earlier this week. It is expected that coach Carreno will give all his boys a run in the coming games to test their fitness ahead of their September 1 clash against Iran.
Following the Iraq game, Qatar will fly to Zurich for a training camp from August 10 to 20.
During the Swiss training camp, Qatar will play against Real Betis in a friendly game. Qatar face Jordan on August 18 before returning to Doha. On August 25, Qatar host Thailand in their last friendly before the Iran clash in Tehran.
