First team returns to training after break

The Al-Sadd football first team resumed training from 6:30 PM on Tuesday, returning from a two-day break that followed an intense period of training after the end of the foreign training camp in Austria.

The team is now preparing hard ahead of the start of the Qatar Stars League season which begins on 15th September.

Led by head coach Jesualdo Ferreira, the coaching staff implemented the training programme. Physical conditioning was a prominent feature with the players returning after a break and having a crucial period of training ahead of them.

The Tuesday session saw the participation of all the available Al-Sadd players. At the beginning, the coaches held a meeting with the players to talk about the importance of the upcoming period.

Absent from training were the 7 Qatar national team players: Saad Al-Dosari, Pedro, Mohammed Kasola, Ali Asad, Hassan Al-Haydos, Abdelkarim Hassan, Ibrahim Majid. Algerian striker Baghdad Bounedjah was also unavailable as he is away with his national team at the Rio Olympics.
