Official: Al Sadd Club Crowned Qatari League Champions
Al Sadd Club officially clinched the Qatar Stars League title after their direct competitor Al Shamal lost to Qatar Club with a score of 2-0 in the postponed match from the seventeenth round, which took place today, Monday.
The match saw a strong start from Qatar Club, which surprised Al Shamal with an early goal in the seventh minute by Ahmed Al-Rawi, before Joao Pedro extended the lead with a second goal in the 18th minute, putting his team in a comfortable position early on.
Despite the numerical disadvantage faced by Qatar Club after their player Ali Al-Saudi was sent off in the 45+12 minute, Al-Shamal failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage and was unable to come back in the score until the final whistle.
With this result, Al-Shamal's tally froze at 37 points, compared to Al-Sadd's 42 points, with only one round remaining for each team. This means it is impossible for Al-Shamal to catch up to the top, officially crowning Al-Sadd as the league champions.
This championship marks the nineteenth title in Al Sadd's history in the Qatar Stars League, and the third consecutive one, having previously won the title in the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 seasons, confirming their dominance in the tournament in recent years.
