Weren't you only allowed to have 5 foreigners? :)

Yep, I only have 4 foreigners though which are Raul, Marek Sapara, Mamadou Niang and Kleber as every other foreigner has Qatar as a 2nd nationality now.

As I currently live and work in Qatar I've taken a keen interest in this story!

I decided to load up the Qatar leagues and start there for the unemployment challenge and took over Al Shamal in the second division. Raul's wage alone is about five times my entire wage budget!

There are not many players available and I cannot scout outside of Qatar! I don't think I am too far behind the top teams though as I had three in my Sheikh Jassim cup group, loosing one, winning one and drawing the other.

On the plus side, within the first month of the season, three of my five foreign players gained Qatari citizenship allowing me to bring in three more foreign players. (Although I can only scout the ones who are already based in Qatar!)

Thanks bjw :) Al-Shamal finished 3rd in the 1st season getting 77 points, 17 more than 4th but 9 less than first, scoring 77 and only conceding 19.

Really interesting, I've always liked the idea of playing in obscure leagues. Keep it up, and you've got to make sure Raul gets on your coaching staff when he retires ;)

Thanks Jay :) I'll try to keep him :D
 
2014/15 Pre-Season

A decent pre-season and another good run in the Sheikh Jassem Cup leading us to another chance to win silverware as we've scored 4 in all but 1 game so far.

I wanted some Qatari youth that had a chance to develop into an international player and Hamad was the only player to be rated at more than 3* and in a position that our tactic used so I signed him up.

Boualem has Qatari as a 2nd nationality so he doesn't affect the foreigner limits and he'll slot straight into the centre of defence.

A fairly good start to the season, with the one loss making all the difference in the league! We are also into the Champions League Final against Chinese side Guangzhou!

New Transfer:

New Contract:

2 months of fixture congestion, Champions of Asia and 3rd in the CWC! Raul isn't scoring much this season sadly and the board aren't happy with me as I'm not making any high profile signings although I'm currently looking to find a way to change that...

Al, Al, Al, Al, Al, Al & Qatar, a great couple of months as we start our defence of the Champions League and we start to draw clear domestically!

Another great couple of months, we've retained the title very easily, won the Stars Cup and are into the Final of the Crown Prince Cup again!

May 2015 - End of Season

A great end retaining all the cups! We're losing a couple of players at the end of the season to retirement, these are Kleber and Abdullah Kone.

Another great pre-season, barring the loss to Cruz Azul and the testimonial, but we're free scoring in the Pre-Season Cup and you're probably about to see why...

Rajab will be the 2nd choice goalkeeper this season as at the time our only keeper was a 35 year old.

Khalid is a young Qatar international and one of the few international players that were good enough for my team.


cFsb9HT.png


Wanderley scored 24 in 25 league games last season and I saw that his contract had expired and that he now had Qatar as a 2nd nationality I knew I had to pick him up.

I got Francesco on a free from Inter and he will hopefully be between the sticks for a good 10-15 years if I keep him happy!


PHe2XDq.png


I've brought in Drogba! It was either going to be him or Fernando Torres, but Torres wanted between ?145,000 & ?180,000 p/w so Drogba will see out his career here.

We were taken over in late September and it's good to see that the new board is giving us even more money!

I don't really know what to say, I think we're the new Asian powerhouse, we beat Nagoya Stolz (who are no pushovers) 9-1 on aggregate in the Champions League Semi-Finals and we've gotten a +31 goal difference after just 8 league games!

Perfection, simple as, there's not really a lot I can say, we won the Champions League and CWC really easily and we have form of 14-0-0.

22 games and we've already won the league. Easy.

great story, you're doing great! Time to take over Qatar NT :)

I noticed a couple of youngsters coming through the ranks were english or dutch (they seemed to have rubbish PA though ;)), do they have qatar nationality as well?
 
Didier Drogba! Ooosh! Brilliant signing he must be tearing up the league, i picked him up on my Arsenal save and he got 8 goals for me! Only thing i would say about the brilliant layout is have the goalscorers next to the fixture? Nice to see whos on form and what not with so many decent strikers, KIU!

Thanks Kandersson, the next thing would be to conquer the international scene, shame the current manager doesn't look like being sacked yet, and yup the players who come through have Qatar as a 2nd nationality.

He is definitely showing the league and the continent who's boss! And from the next update I will have it so it shows the goalscorers :)

The perfect league season = done, score 100 goals in the league = done, all I really have to do now is wait for the National Team job to become available but god knows how long that's going to take!

For the first time since I took over we have lost a cup game, although I'm very disappointed, it was bound to happen at some point.
