Al Sadd are one of the most successful club sides in Qatar football and have lifted the league title a record 14 times.
The club was formed in October, 1969, after a group of students decided to form a local football club in the area of Al Sadd, Doha. The club's logo colours are black and white.
Nicknamed The Wolves, Al Sadd have won a number of trophies. In 2011, they clinched the AFC Champions League title for the second time in their history, after 1989. They finished third in the FIFA Club World Cup, also in 2011.
