In preparation for the World Cup, Annabi will face Canada and Chile next September
The Qatar Football Association announced that the first team will play three friendly matches during the pause period listed on the FIFA calendar for the month of September, as part of preparations for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
In a statement, the federation said that the Qatari team will face its Canadian counterpart on September 23, while the team will face Chile on September 27.
The federation postponed revealing the date of the third match and the identity of the team that will meet it, with details to be announced at a later time.
