Presnel Kimpembe joins Qatar's Al‑Kharaitiyat in second division

French centre‑back Presnel Kimpembe, 30, former Paris Saint‑Germain defender and 2018 World Cup champion, signed a one‑year contract with Al‑Kharaitiyat, a club competing in Qatar’s second division. The move was confirmed by Al‑Kharaitiyat on its official channels, stating: "Our club officially confirms the arrival of French defender Presnel Kimpembe for one season."

Kimpembe leaves Qatar SC after a season in which he featured in only 11 matches, following a long injury lay‑off that disrupted his career at PSG. The transfer marks a significant step down from top‑flight European football, highlighting the impact of his Achilles injury and the limited opportunities he received at his former clubs.
