Al-Sadd, managed by Răzvan Lucescu, has demonstrated strong performance in Qatari football competitions. In the Qatar Stars League, the team maintained a perfect record, including a 6-2 victory over Qatar SC and a subsequent 6-3 win against Al-Sailiya. As of September 2026, the club sits at the top of the standings with 12 points from four matches, boasting a goal difference of 19-7 and an average of 4.75 goals scored per match, placing them ahead of rivals Al-Shamal and Al-Rayyan. In the Qatar Cup, Al-Sadd secured a 2-1 semifinal victory against Al-Gharafa to advance to the final. Despite an early goal by Al-Gharafa’s Magri in the 14th minute, Al-Sadd responded with an equalizer from Ali and a winning goal from Manai in the 43rd minute. Regarding continental play, the club is beginning its AFC Champions League Elite campaign. The opening match against the Iranian side Esteghlal is being held in Basra, Iraq, because the Iranian league was suspended in March following an outbreak of war. Lucescu aims to replicate his 2019 continental success during this campaign. To bolster the squad, Al-Sadd has reached an agreement with Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic. The 33-year-old former Inter Milan player and World Cup medalist is expected to sign a one-year contract with an option to extend until 2028. Looking ahead to the Qatar Stars League, Al-Sadd is scheduled to face Al-Arabi on October 9. The match features a matchup between Romanian coaches Răzvan Lucescu and Cosmin Contra. Al-Arabi currently holds fourth place with six points, and notably, neither team has suffered a loss this season. Ahead of the fixture, Contra acknowledged Lucescu’s strong start, stating that Lucescu is “favorite from every point of view.”
