The Qatar’s national team could face disciplinary action for breaking the rule regarding making any kind of political statements during an official game.
They wore T Shirts bearing the portrait of their embattled Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani as they warmed up for their qualifying game against South Korea.
