It is one of the tournaments organized by the Qatar Stars League (QSL) for First Division clubs during FIFA Days and when the league is stopped.
The tournament has a group-cum-knockout format and the teams are drawn into two groups through draw of lots, based on their standings in the league championship.

It is considered as a tournament that clubs pay great attention to in terms of constructive and effective participation, and appearing at a strong level, and it is also a unique opportunity for coaches to equip and prepare their players throughout the season.
It may be noted that clubs are allowed to use first-team, Under-23 and youth-team players, so they can give them more experience and develop their skills as well as physical abilities with a view to support the national teams.
