DOHA:  The members of the Documentation Committee of the Qatar Football Association (QFA) have constantly remained in touch with Qatari clubs, as part of its ambitious plan to completely document the history of Qatari football. Within the framework of the work plan of the Documentation Committee, a series of field visits to Qatari clubs were conducted in order to communicate directly with them, and to formulate a common vision towards a reliable and official documentation of the clubs' history and achievements in football, from their inception until now. This will include the narration of the success stories of the legends and stars from the past, and current players as well, who represent the clubs' true heritage. Since its establishment, the Documentation Committee has set goals and objectives aimed at uniting efforts in this regard, in order to make the Committee’s work a reliable reference and an officially approved source of information on Qatari football throughout generations. This is the approach which was put in place by QFA President His Excellency Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Thani, who has paid great attention to the work of the Documentation Committee. Concerted efforts, continuous work, and strong will arising from a sense of patriotism, can help achieve these objectives. The early years of Qatari football, through which the sports movement began in the country, will now be recorded and officially documented. The Committee's records will showcase the history and achievements of Qatari football, through teams, clubs and individuals, showing Qatar's presence on the global footballing map as it prepares to welcome the world at the FIFA World Cup in 2022. In terms of Qatar's creativity and excellence at the organisational level, the World Cup will also be a source of information that will be documented forever, amidst a long track record of hosting huge events. It won't be the last, with Qatar continuing to host successful events that will be immortalised in the pages of history. New ideas, constant cooperation The Documentation Committee's visits started with Al Wakrah, Al Khor and Al Rayyan clubs, which brought fruitful results. The Committee members met with the club representatives with the aim of getting acquainted with the history of these clubs and reviewing their archives since their establishment. Motivated by a sense of patriotism, everyone involved in these efforts came together with great sincerity, to contribute to the documentation of the immense history of Qatari football. The work plan of the Documentation Committee in the upcoming period includes visiting all the other clubs and holding meetings with their officials to document their history, through professional work and also with new ideas that will make the process more efficient. In this regard, the Documentation Committee renewed its invitation to anyone who possesses information, documents or photographic materials that would enrich the process of documenting the history of Qatari football, by communicating with the concerned officials. The Committee also invited the pioneers, icons and stars of Qatari football to cooperate in this national project by presenting or sharing what they possess of history, information and archive material related to football, to thereby become one of the main pillars to enhance the recording of Qatari football history. About the Documentation Committee The Documentation Committee was established through a decision issued by the Executive Committee of the Qatar Football Association, which instituted the Committee chaired by Ali Daoud, with Khalid Mubarak Al Kuwari as vice chairman, and with Abdullah Ali Al Muhannadi, Ibrahim Shaheen Al Sulaiti, Jassim Al Mulla, Ibrahim Azzam and Mirna Ammar, as members. This is in addition to the presence of a number of specialists in the field of documentation and archiving from various sports and media institutions, to ensure expertise and experience. The Documentation Committee's aim is to bring together everything that concerns Qatari football and all the tournaments organised by the QFA, and build an important reference for journalists and sports lovers alike. This decision to establish the Documentation Committee came within the framework of the institutional development plan of the QFA, which aims to raise the level of administrative work within the organisation, in accordance with QFA's Vision 2021. The history of Qatari football, throughout the years, was and still is full of many achievements that raised the country's flag in the global arena, helping it occupy the high position that it deserves. Those remarkable moments are spread over many events, which can never be forgotten. They have been engraved within the memories of different generation, becoming a part of the people's culture and folklore.
