Key player Qatar National Team
Khalid Muneer | This 24-year-old midfielder from Qatar is a national team player who always gets the attention. He is a player that opponents usually mark very well due to his great talent to filter passes, his intelligence to move and go forward. In addition to those qualities and his speed, Muneer is also good going forward and has a good punch. He is a player with a goal and is undoubtedly a reference for the Arab national team that is looking to do well in the World Cup.

Key player Canada National Team
Alphonso Davies | The star of the Canadian national team. This 22-year-old midfielder, who plays for Bayern Munich, is one of the most outstanding players thanks to his speed and depth to get into the opponent's area. His versatility allows him to play as a defender, midfielder or even as a winger, so Davies will be one of the players the Qatari national team must watch out for in its defensive line.

Who will be the referee and his assistants?
The referee designations are still to be confirmed.
How does Qatar arrive?
On the other hand, the Qatar national team led by Felix Sanchez, will be the host team of the next World Cup and wants to be in the best shape for the opening match to be played on November 20 of this year. The Qataris have also had a rather irregular year. In their most recent match, they won last August against Ghana by a score of 2-1 with goals by Ahmed Alaaeldin and Musab Kheder.
How does Canada arrive?
The Canadian national team, led by John Herdman, has had an irregular year during these months before the World Cup. They will go to the World Cup in Qatar and have a complicated group with Belgium, Croatia and Morocco. Canada has just lost 2-1 to Honduras in the CONCACAF Nations League, but they must find consistency in their matches if they want to reach the World Cup to be played at the end of 2022 in the best way possible.
Who will be the referee and his assistants?
The friendly match between Canada and Qatar will be played at the Franz Horr Stadium in Vienna, Austria. Kick-off is scheduled for 13:00 hrs (ET).
