2024–25 Al Sadd SC season

In the 2024–25 season, Al Sadd SC is competing in the Qatar Stars League for the 52nd season, as well as the Emir of Qatar Cup, and the AFC Champions League Elite.

Review Background On May 16, 2024, Al Sadd announced the departure of Baghdad Bounedjah, after nine years with the team, during which Bounedjah became the club's all-time top scorer, according to what the team announced in an official press release. The club wrote in its message: “In your career with Al-Zaeem, you created a feat and sometimes a miracle. You were the best representative of the Arab player and the best ambassador of beloved Algeria. Everyone who was in the locker room loved you. Thank you for every moment of joy you gave us, for every smile. You will remain an important part of the club’s history for everyone.” On May 30, Al Sadd concluded its first deal by signing the Spanish striker Rafa Mújica from Arouca in a four-year deal. On July 23, Al Sadd Club announced the appointment of Spanish coach Félix Sánchez to lead the first team. The club explained in a statement that Sanchez signed a two-year contract, which will continue until the summer of 2026. Sánchez is scheduled to begin his duties with the team during its preparatory camp in Malaga, Spain.

On July 18, rumors of Abdessamed Bounacer's departure have increased since the beginning of the transfer market, and according to some journalists, the 19-year-old young defender is in Qatar with his agent to negotiate his transfer to Al Sadd. The club would be ready to pay the player's release clause which would amount to 500,000 euros. On July 24, Al Sadd announced its official contract with Bounacer for a period of five years. Bounacer suffered a very serious injury during training. The club announced on August 21, that he will undergo ankle surgery at Aspetar and that he will be out for three months, with a return in November or December. During the international break in September, Al Sadd signed right-back Youcef Atal and Cristo González from Arouca in a deal worth 6 million euros. Atal will not be able to participate in Qatari league matches until next January. This situation follows the rules imposed by the Qatari Football Association, which limits the number of foreign players to seven per team. However, Al Sadd SC has already reached this limit.
