History
The Qatar women's team has appeared in some special events, like playing friendlies against the American club Washington Spirit in December 2020,[5] and against Afghanistan after their evacuation from the war-torn country after the Taliban takeover; Qatar won that match 5–0.[6] Qatar does not have a player development program.[2]
