I have decided to make a story of a new long term save i intend to do, which is very similar to the classic "San Marino Challenge". Whereby you take over a Nation (Qatar) and a club within the domestic league, with the ultimate aim of leading both the domestic league and International team to glory.
I made a poll of 12 possible Nations and put the question to you guys to choose me a Nation to begin this challenge. I would like to thank everyone for voting, and am glad I can start a story the majority of you wanted to see. You can see the results of this below:

I decided to takeover Al Shamal, as they were predicted to come bottom of the Qatar All Star league (top division). They were basically the worst side in all aspects of the division - financially, facilities etc. My thinking is that i can develop this into a decent club, which would increase competition in the league and therefore improve it.

For some reason I am expected to win the Qatari Stars Cup which seems a bit ambitious when looking across the other competitions. I don't have any experience in this league so not sure how challenging that trophy will be. Only time will tell!
