Founded in 1960, The Qatar Football Association (QFA) is the official governing body of football in Qatar. The Qatar Football Association works on all levels of the football system to promote the sport of football within Qatar and identify and develop young Qatari talents. QFA bonds with the local society to promote the game and expand its fan-base in a systematic and methodical approach.
QFA aims to reinforce football professionalism by improving the existing infrastructure of the game through its professional league known as the Qatar Stars League. The ruling authority is constantly striving to develop and harness young talent that could be the base for youth and senior outfits competing regionally, continentally and internationally.
