Al Sadd will lead Qatar in the new season's AFC Champions League (ACL) as the top four teams in the 2020-2021 QNB Star League (QSL) compete in Asia's top club soccer tournament, which will take place in Saudi Arabia on April 7.
Consecutive QSL winners Al Sadd are in the strong E group, which includes Al Faisaly FC (Saudi Arabia), Al Wehdat SC (Jordan) and FC Nasaf (Uzbekistan). Wolves, coached by Javi Gracia, will play against FC Nasaf on April 8 at the Prince Mohammed bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
The 2011 champions were well prepared for the tournament, with their team's international players joining the squad after last week's friendly match at home in Qatar against Bulgaria and Slovenia. Missing weeks of games due to injury, experienced Hassan Al Haydos also joined the team. Al Sadd has the likes of Spaniard Santicasola, and Qatar's own Akram Afif is also expected to shine in the game.
