Al-Markhiya

Al-Markhiya Sports Club is a Qatari multi-sports club based in the Al Markhiya district of Doha, and its football department plays in the Qatar Stars League. The club was founded in 1995 as Al-Ittifaq and renamed Al-Markhiya in 2004 to better represent the district where it is located. It is widely regarded as one of the fastest improving teams, having won the Second Division league four times in the first five seasons it has taken part in, and it was the first second division club to be promoted to the Qatar Stars League. The club's honours include six Qatari Second Division titles, in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2017 and 2022. Its home ground, Al-Markhiya Stadium, was built in 1995, but because of its insufficient capacity and facilities, the club frequently uses Saoud bin Abdulrahman Stadium as its homegrounds.
