The English FA and Qatar FA sign a memorandum of understanding

The FA has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Qatar FA that could see England play friendlies against the 2022 World Cup hosts.
The FA chairman, Greg Clarke, was part of a touring party that visited Doha to discuss a knowledge-sharing partnership, and as part of the agreement, both FAs have committed to exploring the possibility of arranging friendlies across age groups.

Clarke said: "The FA is pleased to commit to this knowledge-sharing partnership with the Qatar Football Association. We have a long history of collaboration with various national associations to share knowledge and experience to support the development of football. For Qatar, developing the game across the country is a key objective as they approach the hosting of the FIFA World Cup in 2022."
