    Oman Finishes Third in Asia and Qualifies for FIFAe World Cup 2026

    Muscat (ONA): The Sultanate of Oman’s national e-sports team achieved a remarkable milestone at the FIFAe Continental Cup 2026 – Asia for the Rocket League discipline, concluding the tournament in third place before clinching the playoff match and securing qualification for the FIFAe World Cup 2026.

    Oman’s campaign commenced in the FIFAe Nations Cup 2026, which featured three rounds of qualifiers across the West Asia region. The team delivered outstanding performances throughout the qualifying stages, accumulating sufficient continuity points to secure its berth in the continental championship and maintain its place among Asia’s elite national teams.

    The Omani squad included Sultan Al Balushi, Nooh Al Mahmoudi and Abdullah Al Amri, under the leadership of Dutch coach Overmeer. The trio represented the Sultanate of Oman in the Rocket League competition, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 21 to 23 August 2026.

    The team successfully advanced through the group stage and progressed to the knockout rounds, continuing its impressive run with a commanding 4–0 victory over India in the quarter-finals to reach the semi-finals, where they ultimately fell to Australia by a 4–0 scoreline.

    In the third-place playoff, Oman staged a resolute comeback, securing a comprehensive 4–0 win over hosts Malaysia to claim the bronze medal and third place overall in Asia, while also earning the opportunity to compete for a World Cup berth through the playoff round.

    The national team subsequently faced New Zealand in a decisive qualifying playoff match. Oman secured a 4–2 victory, thereby officially sealing its place at the FIFAe World Cup 2026 in the Rocket League discipline.

    This achievement represents the culmination of the team’s journey, which began with regional qualifiers and continued through the continental championship, ultimately earning a spot on the global stage. The Omani national team continues to assert its presence in international competitions, adding another distinguished accolade to the Sultanate’s growing record in e-sports.
