Qatar\u2019s support video assistant referee (VAR) at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final reflects on officiating football\u2019s biggest match, the advice that shaped his career, and why he believes Qatar can produce more referees for the game\u2019s biggest stages.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Khamis Al Marri has made history by becoming the first Qatari referee to be part of the officiating team for a FIFA World Cup final, serving as support VAR for the Argentina-Spain showpiece in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

His appointment marks another milestone for Qatari officiating on football\u2019s biggest stage, following Abdulrahman Al Jassim\u2019s achievement in 2022 when he became the first Qatari referee to officiate at a FIFA World Cup, taking charge of the third-place play-off between Croatia and Morocco.<\/p>\n

For Al-Marri, walking into the final brought a mix of emotions.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe emotions before the match were certainly mixed, between joy and a determination to perform well,\u201d Al-Marri told Doha News.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very happy and focused on excelling in the match, managing it outstandingly, and supporting my colleagues, whether in the VAR room or the referees on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

That focus, he said, came with a deep sense of responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy focus was extremely high, and I was happy to have been given that responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Advice for the next generation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Asked what he would tell young Qatari referees hoping to follow his path, Al-Marri didn\u2019t hesitate: hard work, and the ability to push through setbacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must work hard. You\u2019ll face obstacles, and you\u2019ll make mistakes once or twice, but that shouldn\u2019t stop you from continuing to work hard and keep working until you achieve your goals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t stop at the first obstacle you face, or feel that you can\u2019t continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The role of national support<\/strong><\/p>\n

Al-Marri credited the Qatar Football Association and the Referees Committee for helping local officials reach the international stage, while stressing that support alone isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe great support that came from the Qatar Football Association or from officials helps you, as a referee, to reach high levels,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, your performance must qualify you so that the support is effective. If your performance is not of a high level, this support may not get you anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlongside a high performance level, the support and the development from the Qatar Football Association and the Referees Committee helps us a lot to reach high levels, be it myself or my fellow Qatari referees at the FIFA World Cup,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a push for other referees and for the Qatar Football Association to continue their support for referees so they can reach major tournaments and finals. This will open the door for the rest of the referees, or for a field referee, to officiate a World Cup final in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharing the moment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reflecting on how he marked the achievement personally, Al-Marri said joy is something meant to be shared.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a person is in a stage of joy, they should communicate with the people they love, or the people they have a good relationship with, and the people who are happy for them,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll talk to my mother first, as well as my children, my family, and my friends. It\u2019s something that you should always share.\u201d<\/p>\n

Qatar\u2019s sporting future<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Al-Marri said he expects Qatar\u2019s role in hosting major tournaments to continue growing.<\/p>\n

\u201cQatar is certainly one of the pioneering countries, or one of the countries that FIFA works with to host major tournaments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI expect that it won\u2019t stop here, and that they will organise more tournaments in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed to Qatar\u2019s standing in international sport as an advantage for its athletes and officials alike. \u201cAs an athlete, when you\u2019re from a country that is well known on the sporting map, it will help you greatly in your work or in whatever field you\u2019re in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
