Wikipedia - Qatar national under-23 football team
The Qatar national under-23 football team (also known as Qatar Under-23 or Qatar Olympics Team) represents Qatar in international football competitions in GCC U-23 Championship and football at the Summer Olympics, as well as any other under-23 international football tournaments.
History
Compared to regional neighbours, Qatar has a decent record in Olympic football, with two prior Summer Olympics qualifications and a gold medal in the 2006 Asian Games.
In 1992, the Qatar U-23 squad dominated its Olympic qualifying campaign on the expense of Japan, China and Saudi Arabia. In the finals, the Qataris were given a tough draw next to host nation Spain, Colombia and Egypt. Qatar kicked off their matches at Barcelona with a crucial 1–0 win over fellow Arab nation Egypt, before registering a 1–1 draw with Colombia to secure a place in the knockout stage, turning the last group match against Spain into a formality.
A loss to Poland in the knockout stage fell a little bit short of rising expectations, but reaching it led to the country's best Olympic result.
When hosting the 2006 Asian Games, Qatar U-23 found itself with a double objective; to show that it was capable of hosting a major event of that caliber, and demonstrate that its football team was worthy of standing alongside Asia's elite. Tallying five wins throughout the tournament, Qatar's momentum escalated from one match to another, reaching its peak in the 2–0 final against Iraq.
The team competes in various tournaments, including the AFC U23 Asian Cup and the Olympic Games qualifiers, showcasing the skills and potential of its players on a continental and global stage. Known for their technical ability, tactical awareness, and strong team cohesion, the Qatar U23 squad is a blend of emerging talents and experienced players, all striving to elevate Qatari soccer.
With a commitment to excellence and a focus on youth development, the Qatar U23 team plays a vital role in the broader vision of enhancing the country's soccer profile, particularly in the lead-up to major international events. The team's performances not only aim for success on the field but also contribute to the growth of soccer culture in Qatar, inspiring future generations of athletes.
