TheQatar Stars League (Arabic:دوري نجوم قطر; abbreviated asQSL), known asDoha Bank Stars League for sponsorship reasons, is the top level football league inQatar football league system. Contested by 12 teams, it operates on a system ofpromotion and relegation with theQatari Second Division (QSD), with the lowest ranked club at the end of the QSL season being demoted to make room for the promotion of the highest ranked QSD club of the season. The QSL season usually runs from September to April. The league's first season was played in 1963, although the first official season occurred in 1972.

The Qatari league system provides 5 domestic cups that various clubs can compete for: theEmir of Qatar Cup, open to all teams in both the first and second divisions; theQatar Crown Prince Cup, a postseason tournament played by the top four first division teams; theSheikh Jassem Cup, a prelude to the first division regular season; theQatari Stars Cup, around-robin tournament played midseason; and theQatar FA Cup, where the bottom 8 teams from the QSL and the entire QSD participate. The league title has been officially won by 7 clubs since its inception. The club that has won the most championships isAl Sadd SC, with 18 titles.

League structure

[edit]

There are 2 divisions in the Qatari football structure and the league has previously seen one club promoted and relegated each year except inexpansion seasons. The Qatar Stars League, previously known as the Q-League currently features 12 teams, with the 2nd division featuring 8 teams. The top four clubs at the end of the regular league system participate in theQatar Crown Prince Cup, which was formed in the 1994/95 season.[1]

The Qatar Stars League has slowly expanded since the turn of the decade, moving from 9 clubs to 10 clubs, and then latest setup of 12 clubs for theQatari League 2009-10 campaign. It was announced that in the 2013-14 season, the number of clubs in the top division would increase to 14, whereas the second division would increase to 18 clubs which includes the reserve teams of the top division clubs.[2]

It was announced on 15 April 2009 that no clubs would be relegated from the top flight in the2008–09 Qatar Stars League season, due to expansion reasons, however the announcement was made with only one game remaining.[3] That year, the top league expanded to 12 clubs. In May 2013, the QFA again expanded the league by two more teams, bringing the total number of clubs in the first division to 14.[4] In 2017 the number of teams moved back to 12.

There are currently 4 official amateur football leagues in Qatar. Three amateur leagues are under the jurisdiction of the Qatar Community Football League (QCFL), established by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy, and the fourth, known as theQatar Amateur League (QAL) is recognized by the QFA. Inaugurated in November 2013,[5] the QAL has 14 teams, all of which were established through the country's government, political and social sectors.[6]

History

[edit]

Early history

[edit]

The first unofficial season of the Qatar Stars League was the1963–64 season, 3 years after the formation of theQFA. Similarly, asecond division was also created during this time. For many years, there was no promotion or relegation system.[7] Al-Maref, a club representing the Ministry of Education, was dissolved in 1966-67 by decision of theQFA and its players distributed to other clubs.[8]

First official season

[edit]

In 1972–73, the firstofficial season was played.[9] Al Esteqlal, now known asQatar SC, won the first championship.[10]

The first time there was a playoff for the championship was in 1980, betweenAl Sadd andAl Arabi. Al Sadd won the match 1–0.[7]

Although a second division had been in place for some time, there was no relegation or promotion system. However, in 1981, such a system was put in place for the first time. Five clubs participated in the second division that year.[7]

In 1984–85, there was no relegation or promotion due to a lack of players as members of theQatar national football team were preparing for the qualification rounds of the1986 FIFA World Cup.[7]

In 1994, for one season, theQFA launched a new system where matches ending in draws would end in apenalty shoot-out to determine the winner. This was put in place in an effort to improve attendance.[7]

Three second division clubs were dissolved in the 1990 season:Al Nasr,Al Tadamon, andAl Nahda. Many of their players were distributed to first division clubs and became prominent players in Qatari football history, such asFahad Al Kuwari, Ahmed Al Kuwari and Hamad Al Khalifa. After the dissolution of these clubs, there was no longer any relegation or promotion for five years. In 1995/96, the second division was brought back with five clubs, while there were ten clubs participating in the first division.[7]

The 2003 money influx from QFA

[edit]

A successful method theQFA used to develop the league was allocating each Q-League club with a sum of $10,000,000 to buy big-name foreign players in order to increase popularity, in the summer of 2003. The attempt brought in players such asRonald andFrank de Boer,Romário,Pep Guardiola,Fernando Hierro,Marcel Desailly,Stefan Effenberg,Claudio Caniggia, andGabriel Batistuta who soon appeared and shone in the league.[11][12]

In addition, in 2004, theAspire Academy was formed, which provides training facilities to young people in order to improve the footballing standard not only in Qatar, but internationally. Many notable players have graduated from the academy, includingAbdelkarim Hassan,Saad Al Sheeb, andIbrahim Majid.[13]

2009: Changing name to Qatar Stars League

[edit]

In 2009, no clubs were relegated from the top division. Due to the recent formation ofLekhwiya andEl Jaish, this meant that the second division would lose two clubs while two more clubs would enter the first division, bringing the total number of clubs in the first division to 12, and the second division to 6.[3] As part of the expansion campaign, the "Q-League" changed its name to what it is currently known as, "Qatar Stars League",[14] and inaugurated a new domestic cup, the "Qatari Stars Cup".[15]
