Al Waab and Mesaimeer will kick off the 2025-26 QSL Cup season when they meet at Al Khor Stadium on Monday, September 1, 2025. The kickoff is at 6:30pm.

Al Waab approach their inaugural match in the QSL Cup with the goal of compensating for their disappointing start in the Second Division League. They suffered a defeat against Lusail (0-2) in the opening round and subsequently lost to Muaither (0-1) in the second round. A more robust performance will be necessary.

Conversely, Mesaimeer aims to leverage the positive momentum they have gained following their recent 2-1 win over Al Kharaitiyat in the Second Division League, demonstrating their preparedness to engage in the new tournament.

This encounter promises to be closely contested, as both teams vie for the tournament title, seeking to establish their credentials and secure their initial points in the competition's revised format.
