Doha, Qatar: Qatar will send a strong 28-member shooting and archery contingent to the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, aiming to build on a long record of continental and international success.

The squad features experienced shooters including Nasser Saleh Al-Attiyah, Rashid Saleh Al-Athba, Mohammed Ahmed Al-Rumaihi, Reem Al-Sharshani, Hajar Ghulam, Sarah Ghulam, Ray Basil, Kholoud Al-Khalaf, Maitha Al-Binali, Saeed Abu-Sharib, Angelo Scalzone and Al-Maha Al-Ali.

Qatar won three shooting medals at the Hangzhou 2023 Asian Games. Al-Attiyah, Masoud Saleh Al-Athba and Rashid Al-Athba took silver in the men’s skeet team event, while Al-Attiyah added an individual bronze. Al-Athba and Al-Sharshani also won bronze in mixed skeet. Al-Rumaihi finished fourth in trap.

The Hangzhou haul continued a strong Asian Games record. Qatar won gold and bronze in 2002, one silver and three bronze medals at Doha 2006, one gold, one silver and two bronze at Guangzhou 2010, two gold and one bronze at Incheon 2014, and a bronze at Jakarta 2018.

Al-Attiyah has also been the standout figure on the Olympic stage. Qatar has competed in shooting at every Olympics since Atlanta 1996, with Al-Attiyah winning skeet bronze at London 2012.

Al-Rumaihi competed at Tokyo 2020, while Saeed Abusharib and Rashid Al-Athba represented Qatar at Paris 2024.

The team arrives in Japan with strong recent form. At the Doha 2026 Gulf Games, Qatari shooters won 26 medals, including 12 gold, six silver and eight bronze.
