What a game it was. Umm Salal, which needed either a win or a draw away at South Korean FC Seoul, went for the latter. They scored first through captain Askar and then defended heroically. They now become the first Qatari football club ever to reach the last four stage of the Asian Football Confederation’s Champions League.

Hello. Saw this in a sports magazine in Qatar. Very neat, I should say. And a great development too.

I have seen Khalfan play. He is good. He was Asia's best footballer in 2006. He's likely joining Brazil's Santos FC? That's indeed great news for football in Qatar.

WOW!

Bound for Brazil?

Star Qatari footballer Khalfan Ibrahim is likely to ply his trade at top Brazilian club Santos, writes N Ganesh.

WILL the Pearl of Qatar glitter in the land of Samba? If things progress as per plans, Al Sadd’s Qatar international Khalfan Ibrahim will don the colours of top Brazilian club Santos FC, where living legend Pele had spent much of his club career.
Santos are working on the chances, though they have found the player — arguably the best footballer presently in Qatar — a bit too pricey and hence have not made an official offer until now.
