For former Qatar national team goalkeeper Ahmed Khalil, the qualification of eight Arab teams to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ stands as a testament to the remarkable progress of football across the region.

In an interview with the Local Organising Committee for Football Events, Khalil said: “Having eight Arab teams at the World Cup is a true honour for regional football. But I hope it doesn’t stay a matter of participation alone. I want to see every one of these teams go into their groups and succeed.”

Khalil, who played for many years with the Qatar national team, believes the achievement reflects more than a single qualifying campaign: “The standard of play has risen, the administrative structures have matured and financial support has grown considerably. Eight teams reaching this stage is evidence of a system working as a whole: officials, federations and technical staff alike.”

Khalil pointed to Qatar’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 as the decisive turning point for regional football, a tournament that proved the region could deliver the sport’s biggest event and saw Morocco become the first Arab and African side to reach the semi-finals.

He added: “Qatar showcased this region’s ability to host the world at the very highest of standards,its rich football culture and flourishing talent. The progress these teams have made since 2022 is no coincidence. It is a direct result of that experience.”

On Qatar’s prospects at the tournament, Khalil expressed confidence that Al Annabi will perform in a way that reflects their status as Asian champions, noting that teamwork, determination and national pride carry as much weight as technical ability at this level of the game.

Looking further ahead, he urged the region to build on this momentum, expressing hope that participation in 2026 would help establish Arab teams as serious contenders on the world stage and create wider opportunities for generations to come.

Montmeló, Spain: Home favourite and two-time world champion Fernando Alonso said Thursday this weekend's Catalunya Grand Prix might be his final Formula One race in Barcelona.

The Aston Martin driver, who turns 45 next month, has not announced any plans to retire, but with Barcelona set to alternate on the calendar with Spa-Francorchamps, he admitted he may never compete at the circuit again.

"It's going to be a special weekend, probably my last Barcelona race in Formula One, so thanks to everyone," Alonso told reporters.

"I don't have anything in mind yet, after the summer I will make the decision over whether to continue or not, but Barcelona won't be in the calendar next year.

"If I don't know what I'll do next year, then I can't be sure of what I will do in two years."

Alonso has been frustrated with his car this season but did score a first point last weekend in Monaco as the Spaniard came in 10th.

"I will not be competitive and I will not be long in Q1, but hopefully everyone can enjoy the weekend," said the Asturian.

"For me, the hardest thing is to not win races and not be competitive," he continued.

"If this is the last (race in Barcelona) or not is not affecting (me) too much, I am at peace with my career.

"I achieved a lot more than I ever dreamt when I was a kid."

Alonso said his team did not "deserve" the point he scored last week "in terms of pure pace" and said the struggles were bound to continue.

"(It) will be difficult to score this year, to grab any point you need some help from the cars in front," he added.

Alonso won at Montmelo in 2006 and 2013, with the former standing out as his favourite memory at the circuit.

"When you win, it becomes a special race. So I have to say 2006, because there were great expectations for us after winning the championship in 2005," he said.

"Being on pole, everyone expected me to win that Sunday... I'll remember that as the best memory."
