Qatar – Away – 2015
Regular followers of the blog will be aware that I have a sizeable Bhutan shirt collection, in fact I have pretty much every Bhutan shirt that has been produced sign Bhutan joined FIFA in 2000. I have built up several friendship with Bhutanese players over the past 7 years, and help them get hold of football boots etc in exchange for shirts. This Qatar shirt came from a player following Qatar’s 3-0 win over Bhutan in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. A 3-0 defeat for Bhutan may not sound great, but it is an immense improvement on the 15-0 defeat just 2 months earlier in Doha. It’s worth remembering that this is Bhutan’s first ever attempt to qualify for the World Cup, and they should be commended for entering. No one expected them to make it past Sri Lanka in the first round.
This particular shirt was worn by Mohammed Muntari of Qatar who scored then opening goal in their 3-0 victory over Bhutan.
