Oman striker Muhsen Al-Ghassani has expressed strong confidence in coach Carlos Queiroz, believing he can lead Oman to its first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance. Queiroz, who formerly coached Real Madrid, is at the helm as Oman prepares for the crucial next phase of Asia’s qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Oman has never qualified for a World Cup. The 2026 tournament will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, presenting a significant opportunity for emerging Asian teams. Under Queiroz’s guidance, Oman aims to break new ground and make history.

Al-Ghassani highlighted Queiroz’s experience and tactical knowledge, calling him a ‘big coach’ capable of transforming the team’s fortunes. He said, “Queiroz brings a wealth of international experience. We trust his leadership to help us achieve our dream.”

The Asian qualification rounds are fiercely competitive, with many established teams vying for limited spots. Oman’s campaign will test their skill and resilience against strong opponents across the continent.

Queiroz’s coaching track record includes multiple World Cup campaigns with other nations, giving Oman a strategic edge. His emphasis on disciplined defense and quick counter-attacks has already started shaping the team’s playing style.

Fans and experts in Oman have responded enthusiastically to the prospect of World Cup qualification. Social media buzz reflects growing excitement and hope that the team can make a breakthrough under Queiroz.

Preparations are underway as Oman plans friendlies and training camps to fine-tune the squad ahead of their qualifiers. The team hopes to capitalize on home advantage in upcoming matches held at Muscat’s Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex.

If Oman succeeds, it will mark a historic milestone for Gulf football and the nation’s sporting landscape. The upcoming qualifiers will be closely watched as Oman pursues this landmark achievement.
