Qatar's football team landed in the United Arab Emirates Saturday, ABS CBN reported.

The Qatar Football Association said the team had arrived in Abu Dhabi, at what is a highly sensitive time for the Gulf, as hosts UAE are among several countries to have imposed a diplomatic and economic boycott on Doha since June 2017.

A tweet by the QFA said the squad had "arrived at Al-Ain airport and the delegation is en route to our team's hotel".
