Doha: Team Qatar men’s volleyball team secured at least a medal in the volleyball competition after recording their second consecutive victory with a straight-sets win over Oman at the 4th GCC Games Doha 2026, currently taking place in Doha and continuing until May 22, with the participation of 1,400 male and female athletes representing six GCC countries across 17 sports.

Team Qatar won the match in straight sets with scores of 25-17, 25-13, and 25-13.
