Qatar was the little-known nation that sprung into the international spotlight by hosting the World Cup, the world’s biggest sporting event. It was a stunning success on the field despite controversy off it, but there was another team that got lost in the shuffle of the build-up. The Qatar women’s national team, which used to play, simply disappeared from the FIFA records about eight years ago.
I went on a mission to track down this rare national team that just stopped playing. There really was no precedent for vanishing from the FIFA rankings without a massive domestic disturbance at home so it was a unique thing to look for. Fortunately, there was some excellent on-the-ground reporting that allowed us to learn what really happened and where these women might go from here.
Much Love,
The Zealand
