Munich – The FIFA World Cup kicks off in Qatar on Sunday evening. Hosts Qatar open the finals with their Group A preliminary round match against Ecuador.
The Qatari team, coached by Spanish coach Felix Sanchez Bas, automatically qualified for the World Cup as hosts. Accordingly, Qatar only recently had friendlies to prepare for the finals in their own country. The Bas-Elf landed quite a few respectable successes. In 2022, for example, there were victories against Bulgaria and most recently in the last friendly before the World Cup against Albania. Likewise, Qatar managed draws against Chile and Slovenia.
Nevertheless, Qatar’s opponents Ecuador go into the World Cup opening game as favorites. The South Americans have lost just one international match so far in 2022 (1-3 in Paraguay), but managed to draw in World Cup qualifying against clear favorites Argentina and Brazil (1-1 each). The last dress rehearsal for today’s game came against Iraq, but ended in a goalless draw.
