Qatar at the AFC Asian Cup

Since the AFC Asian Cup was founded in 1956, Qatar national football team has participated for nine Asian Cups, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 2000, 2004, 2007, 2011 and 2015. However, in all these participation, so far, Qatar only managed to qualify to the quarter-finals twice, in 2000 and 2011. This has remained as Qatar's best achievement to date, comparing to several Gulf rivals like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Iraq. In spite of these little achievements, Qatar hosted it twice, in 1988 and 2011. The 2011 edition was seen as a step for Qatar in perpetration for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in the country, while ironically, Qatar was the only nation to submit their bid for it.[1][2]
