The Qatari Football Thread

Don't think there is one.


The current champions of the Stars League are Lekhwiya, and the record title holders are Al-Sadd with 12.

Al-Sadd also finished third at the CWC this season.

Discuss.

Funny to see his name in Arabic.

Word.

I don't know why I've taken such an interest in this nation.

There's some decent players out there, i.e, Niang, Agyemang, Ze Roberto.

Do you follow their league on a regular basis as well?

I try to, but it's difficult.

Yeah, I bet.

I think its kind of cool that you've taken an interest in the developing football league of a small nation outside of Europe and S. America.

Hope they horribly fail at their WC even though they will pay the refs

Shame their good players like Khalfan Ibrahim and Anas Mubarak will be in their twighlight years too.

From the Al-Raya newspaper:

South Korean international midfielder Nam Tae-Hee is set to join Lekhwiya from the French Club Valenciennes

Fantastic signing.
