Meanwhile, the record for the shortest player in Qatar belongs to Moroccan national team player Ilias Chair, standing at 158 cm. This attacking midfielder, currently playing for Queens Park Rangers, was born in Belgium but represented Morocco U-20 and U-23 before making his senior team debut in 2021. Chair has made 10 appearances for the Moroccan senior team, scoring one goal from midfield.

Second shortest is Tariq Lamptey at 164 cm. Known for his pace and skillful play on the right wing, Brighton full-back Tariq Lamptey was the second shortest player at the 2022 World Cup.
