Palestine has made history by booking a place in the third round of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers for the first time, following a goalless draw against Lebanon in Doha.

Palestine needed only a draw to progress after starting their Group I match on seven points on Thursday, and despite some harsh tactics from Lebanon, who were shown seven yellow cards, they got the result they wanted.

It will also mark the fourth consecutive time Palestine has booked their place in the AFC Asian Cup finals, to be hosted by Saudi Arabia in 2027.

Despite Israel's genocidal war on besieged Gaza, the Palestinian team has already claimed a piece of footballing history this year by making a debut appearance in the Asian Cup knockout phase.

Palestinian players have always struggled to focus on the pitch, especially since the start of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza and the deterioration of the situation in the occupied West Bank.

Many players have suffered the loss of loved ones in the blockaded enclave, while others have been unable to participate in their national team due to the harsh travel restrictions imposed on them.
