About

Al-Arabi Sports Club, Doha, Qatar, play in the Qatar Stars League and are offered here with a focus on provenance and signatures, Walkouts lists select items from the club’s archive. Founded on 1 January 1972, the football side is the best known arm of a multi-sports institution whose modern era is rooted in domestic cup and league success.

The club has a long competitive story in Qatari football, combining supporters’ reach with notable trophy runs. Based in Doha, the team has contested and shaped local competitions for decades, and collectors prize shirts that reference landmark cup finals and fan culture. The team’s status in the Qatar Stars League frames why signed shirts attract specialist attention.

Home matches since 2023 have been staged at the club’s principal venue, the Al Thumama Stadium, a modern ground that now features heavily in match photography and provenance records. That stadium provenance is a frequent line of enquiry from buyers, as framed shirts and match imagery often reference specific fixtures played at the venue.

Al-Arabi’s honours underline collector interest, the side have won seven league titles among many cup successes and enjoyed a golden period in the 1980s and 1990s. Internationally the squad marked a milestone with victory in the Qatar X UAE Super Cup April 2023, an event that produced match-worn and signed shirts linked to an overseas opponent, Sharjah FC, and remains a sought-after provenance tag.

Collectors focus on several distinct threads. Anniversary releases tied to the club’s foundation are especially chased, notably the 50th Anniversary 2022 commemorations which produced limited runs and retrospective artwork on retail shirts. Season and match magnets such as the 1978 Emir of Qatar Cup final and modern decisive fixtures are pursued for the association with turning-point moments in the club’s history.

Away shirts that contrast with Al-Arabi’s red home palette are also prized, particularly light kits described in collector notes as white with red trim that appear in photographic records of cup ties and away victories. Signed retail demand is strong too, Walkouts offers fanshop shirts and authorised retail releases with an emphasis on early runs, player-issue variants and region-specific editions, and listings commonly note COA evidence or comparable provenance.

For specialists the combination of stadium provenance, named opponents and seasons adds clarity to every lot; documentation referencing Al Thumama Stadium, the Emir of Qatar Cup final, and the Super Cup tie versus Sharjah FC matters to authentication and display. The most-requested pieces reference the 1978 Emir of Qatar Cup and the April 2023 Super Cup, both seasons and matches that routinely command attention from collectors and fans alike, and Walkouts includes detailed lot notes to support purchase decisions.
