Crawley have had second thoughts over a friendly against Qatari opposition.

They have pulled out of a game versus Qatar SC.

The match was due to have taken place on Tuesday in Spain, where Reds will be on a training camp.

It was announced earlier today, then scrapped this afternoon.

A statement from Crawley said the club had accepted the fixture without doing the necessary due diligence about the opposition.

They had since consulted with club ownership and fans and decided playing the game “would violate our core values”.

Crawley accepted the Qatar fixture after a game against an English team fell through.

They will head to Murcia on Sunday night after visiting Eastbourne Borough for a friendly tomorrow (3pm).
