Julen Lopetegui has named Qatar squad for the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup, which takes place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from 23 September to 6 October.

Al Annabi will kick off their campaign against defending champions Bahrain on 24 September. This will be followed by a game against Yemen on 27 September, before completing their group fixtures against the UAE on 30 September.

Hosts Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman and Kuwait make up Group A, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the semi-finals.

Qatar will be chasing their fourth Gulf Cup title and their first since 2014, when they beat hosts Saudi Arabia 2-1 in the final in Riyadh. Before that, their only triumphs came on home soil in 1992 and 2004.

The Spanish coach kept the core of the list that took part in the Gulf Cup last month, with the most notable changes coming in the back line. There as no place for veteran Perdro Miguel, while Bassam Al Rawi returned alongside Youssef Ayman and Niall Mason.

In midfield, Al Rayyan’s 21-year-old Ibrahim Al Hassan was included for the first time since March, as Al Duhail’s winger Tahsin Jamshid and Lusail midfielder Naif Al Hadhrami were left out.
