Doha, Qatar: Doha will once again play the role of a neutral host when Palestine and Kuwait face off in a crucial Asian Qualifier for the 2026 World Cup today. The match kicks off at 7:00pm.

With both teams struggling to make their mark, Palestine –who are placed at the bottom of the Group B points table, and Kuwait – who sit a spot above today’s counterparts, will be eager to revive their campaigns after recent setbacks.

Palestine, despite a strong start with a goalless draw against Asian powerhouse South Korea, suffered two consecutive losses after that, 1-3 defeat to Jordan and a 0-1 loss to Iraq.

Makram Daboub’s men, who created history last year by reaching the knockout stage in AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023, will be aiming to replicate their Doha heroics.

“We are happy to be in Qatar, and we have wonderful memories here, whether from the Arab Cup or the Asian Cup. We look forward to achieving victory,” Daboub said during a pre-match press conference, yesterday.
