The Al-Sadd Sports Club (Arabic: نادي السد القطري) is a sports club, best known for its football team of the Qatar National First Division from Doha, Qatar. The club goes with the Nickname "Al Zaeem" which translates to "The Boss" and was founded by students on the 21 October 1969 in Qatar's capital city. Al Sadd is undoubtedly the country's most successful team.
[edit] HistoryThe club was founded by four students who played excellent football. They refused to join other clubs of the time and decided to make their own club, resulting in the formation of Al-Sadd Sports Club on 21 October 1969 in Doha. The club won the first ever Qatari League in 1973-74. It along with Al-Arabi and Al-Rayyan went on to dominate Qatari football in the 70's and the 80's winning many Qatari League trophies and Emir Cups. In 1989 Al-Sadd became the first Arab side to win the Asian Champions League when they defeated Al Rasheed of Iraq in the final. The 1990s were a lean phase for Al-Sadd regarding the Qatari League. They could not win even one league championship during that period. However they did manage to open their account in the Heir Apparent Trophy and also won the Gulf Club Champions Cup in 1991. The new millennium opened up a new era for Al-Sadd. They returned to winning ways in the Qatari League, won many Emir Cups and Heir Apparent trophies. They also managed a triple crown in regional football by winning the Arab Champions League in 2001. In 2007, under the command of Uruguayan coach Jorge Fossati, they achieved a quadruple by winning all four domestic cups. They were the first Qatari team to do so. [edit] StadiumThe matches are played in the state-of-the-art Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium, whose capacity adds up to 18,000 including VIP stands. Such a capacity reflects the demand expected from the Qatari population which has yet to reach 1 million. The stadium originally built in 1974, was rebuilt in 2004 for the Gulf Cup. The stadium has a unique atmosphere, and being close to the city centre it attracts fans. For these reasons, the Qatar national football team plays its matches in the stadium.
