Another Brazilian-born naturalised Qatari, Lucas Mendes brings the most cosmopolitan club background of Qatar's defensive options, having passed through Coritiba, a loan at Marseille, and several Qatari clubs before settling at Al Wakrah in 2019. The Marseille stint, though brief, gave him a taste of Ligue 1 competition. Now 35 and a long-serving figure in the Qatar Stars League, he is a physically commanding centre-back whose experience anchors Al Wakrah's defence. His longevity in Qatari football makes him a familiar and trusted figure in the national team's defensive planning.
