History

edit
Qatar women's national football team in 2012.

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]
