Doha, Qatar: Q Life, the cultural platform under the State of Qatar's International Media Office (IMO), is delighted to announce the return of Match for Hope in 2026.

On Friday, 30th January, the iconic 45,000-seater Ahmed bin Ali Stadium will host an unforgettable event bringing together some of the world's most influential content creators and football legends for an important cause.

This edition marks the final showdown between the two teams, each having won one of the previous two matches, to determine who will wear the crown of the ultimate Match for Hope Champion. Fans can expect an exhilarating contest as both sides vie for glory.

The 2026 event promises to be the most impactful yet. In the 2024 and 2025 editions, generous donors, partners and members of the public came together to raise more than $19.5 million (QR 71 million) for charity.

These vital contributions are driving transformative Education Above All projects, supporting out-of-school children in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sudan, Pakistan, Mali, Tanzania/Zanzibar, and Qatar.

Match for Hope 2026 will carry this legacy forward, harnessing the global power of sport and entertainment to change lives. Join us once again in creating brighter futures and bringing hope to children and communities all around the world.
