Qatar vs El Salvador Team News
Qatar News
Julen Lopetegui named Qatar’s final 26-player World Cup squad on June 2, with Meshaal Barsham, Akram Afif, Almoez Ali, Pedro Miguel, Lucas Mendes, Assim Madibo, and Hassan Al Haydos all included. Qatar also trimmed Shehab Al Laithi and Rayan Al Ali after the Ireland friendly, so the Los Angeles match now belongs to the final tournament group.
The Asian champions are training in the United States after losing 1-0 to Republic of Ireland in Dublin. Since Qatar open FIFA World Cup 2026 Group B against Switzerland on June 13, Lopetegui can use this friendly to sharpen the Afif-Almoez connection and test his defensive balance before Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina follow.
El Salvador Team News
El Salvador named a 25-player squad for June friendlies against South Korea and Qatar, with Mario Gonzalez, Benji Villalobos, Rudy Clavel, Julio Sibrian, Christian Martinez, Jairo Henriquez, Nathan Ordaz, Brayan Gil, and Styven Vasquez among the called players. The group mixes domestic options with players based abroad, which gives Hernan Dario Gomez room to test roles.
El Salvador are outside the 2026 World Cup field after a difficult qualification finish, yet this match still matters for the Nations League period ahead. Gomez needs a cleaner attacking structure, so the forward pairing of Ordaz and Vasquez should get attention against a Qatar side that can control long stretches through Afif and Madibo.
Qatar vs El Salvador Recent Form
Qatar lost 1-0 to Republic of Ireland in Dublin during their first final warm-up. That result gives Lopetegui a clear correction point before the World Cup opener, because Qatar need sharper service into Afif and Almoez.
El Salvador played South Korea earlier in the same June window before meeting Qatar in Los Angeles. Gomez is still shaping his squad after World Cup qualification ended, so selection balance matters as much as the result.
