It was a season to forget for The Kings, as they just went down to the Qatar Gas League for the first time in their history. After a slow start to the season Qatar SC rallied and registered 27 points, including six wins and nine draws. However it wasn’t enough to see them beat the drop, eventually losing out on goal difference on the final game of the season.  

Qatar SC scored third least number of goals in the QSL with 31, along with conceding the second most in the league with 51 goals. The fact that their top scorer this term was Mouchine Iajour with eight goals, a player who left in January tells its own story.  

A lack of defensive concentration was evident Qatar SC this term and frustratingly they conceded 9 goals in the first fifteen minutes of games, meaning that Sebastaio Lazaroni’s side never gave themselves the best chance in QSL games.



South Korean international Kook Han Young was the Kings stand out player in an otherwise miserable season. The all action midfielder lead the way with the most passes over the course of the season with 1281 this term. Whilst in the final third he provided the highest amount of assists than any other Qatar SC player.

However it was Kook’s running which really impressed this term. Han covered an impressive 313km of running over the course of the season.  That equates to an average of 12km per game. Indeed, Han covered 13km of running an impressive five times this season, just highlighting the impressive work rate of the South Korean.  

Another player who had an impact for the Qatar SC was defender Rafik Halliche. The imposing defender was stong in the air and good in the tackle; however injury curtailed his playing time in January. The former Algerian international came back into the side towards the end of the season, which saw the side improve defensively, ultimately it was too little too late for Qatar SC.

Now facing a season in the Qatar Gas League, it will be a summer of overall at one of Qatar’s biggest clubs. The question is now can the Kings return to the Qatar Stars League at the first time of asking.
