Al Arabi and Al Shamal will clash in the third quarterfinal of 2024-2025 season QSL Cup at the Thani Bin Jassim Stadium of Al Gharafa club on Saturday, November 16, 2024. The kick-off is at 5.30pm.

The match is expected to witness great excitement and enthusiasm given the technical capabilities that each team possesses. Matches between Al Arabi and Al Shamal have always been exciting and it was the same in their last meeting in the seventh week of the Ooredoo Stars League where Al Shamal succeeded in achieving a big 5-2 win.

While Al Arabi – the runners-up of the last edition – are looking to continue their journey into the final of the tournament, Al Shamal are also looking to advance to the semi-finals while aiming to go the title.

Al Arabi qualified for the quarterfinals after finishing second in Group A with 10 points, the same as that of Al Duhail, but the latter outperformed on goal difference.

Al Shamal made the grade as the third-best team from Group B with six points, behind on goal difference with Umm Salal (who finished second in the group).

Al Shamal tied their fifth-round match against Al Wakrah 1-1, while Al Arabi played out a goalless draw with Qatar SC.

Al Shamal rely on their strong attack and the brilliance of their promising striker Mohamed Omar, while Al Arabi, guided by coach Anthony Hudson, hope to continue with the positive results they achieved in the recent period and to qualify for the semi-finals.
