Losail International Circuit announced, on Wednesday, that the 2027 Qatar Grand Prix for Formula 1 car races will be held during the period from the third to the fifth of December next year.

The Qatar Race represents the twenty-third (penultimate) round of the World Championship, which includes 24 races, according to the official calendar for the 2027 season, which witnesses the return of the Turkish and Portuguese prizes after an absence of several years.

Losail Circuit confirmed the return of the Sprint race as part of the Qatar Tour in 2027, becoming one of only 10 rounds to host this format during the season.

The speed race will be held on Saturday for a distance of approximately 100 kilometers, with a points system independent of the main Grand Prix race scheduled for Sunday.

Losail Circuit began hosting Formula 1 competitions after Qatar joined the World Championship calendar in 2021. It also hosts a number of the most prominent motorsport championships, including the MotoGP World Championship and the FIA ​​World Endurance Racing Championship.

The length of the Losail Circuit track is 38.5 km, and includes 16 turns and a number of overtaking areas, in addition to an advanced lighting system that allows racing to be held at night.

It is expected that the Qatar Grand Prix will gain great importance in the competition for the drivers' and manufacturers' titles, given that it is held in the penultimate round of the season, which makes its points decisive before the conclusion of the championship.

Losail Circuit explained that the date of launching tickets for the 2027 edition will be announced later, while tickets for the 2026 Qatar Grand Prix are still available through the circuit’s official website.

Al-Wahda of the United Arab Emirates topped the standings of Group A in the group stage of the second AFC Champions League.

Al-Wahda overturned a 0-2 deficit against its guest Al-Kuwait, Al-Kuwaiti, to achieve a valuable and exciting victory over them with a score of 3-2, on Wednesday, in the opening round of the group.

Al-Wahda got the first three points in its career in the group, topping the standings by two points ahead of its closest rivals, Al-Khalidiya of Bahrain and Nasaf of Uzbekistan, while Kuwait remained without any points at the bottom of the standings.

The second round of group competitions will be held on October 14, where Nasaf will meet Al-Wahda in Qarshi, and Kuwait will meet Al-Khalidiya in Sulaibikhat.

Brazilian Joao Pedro called for a new nickname to be given to Chelsea's brilliant attacking trio, as he spoke about the growing harmony between him, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers.

Fans have nicknamed this trio “JP Morgan” and “CBR” after their impressive start to the new season.

The Brazilian player believes that the trio complement each other well.

Pedro said in an interview with the Maine Blazer Media Network: “Morgan is a highly skilled player. He can dribble two or three players and advance the ball. This is what we expect from him, and he started the season excellently.”

He added in his statements, which were reported by the British news agency “PA Media”: “For Cole, I always try to pass the ball to his feet, while I pass to Morgan in the empty spaces to give him the opportunity to engage in individual confrontations, one-on-one, while my task is to run and wait for their passes. "I just have to run and then score."

However, Pedro did not show much enthusiasm for the nicknames given to the trio by fans.

He said: “We have to find a distinctive title. I do not like the title (CBR), and he (Balmer) does not like (JPMorgan), so we need something in between that satisfies everyone.”
