Doha, Qatar: Al Rayyan will take on Al Shahania in the first QSL Cup quarter-final at Al Khor Stadium today, looking to continue their fine run in the revamped tournament.
The Lions topped the single-stage league table with 25 points to book an automatic quarter-final berth, along with second-placed Umm Salal, as all participating teams played a total of 10 matches each under the new format introduced this season.
Al Rayyan will be without the supervision of coach Artur Jorge, who has moved to Brazilian outfit Cruzeiro. The Portuguese tactician had joined Al Rayyan in January 2026.
"Today marks the end of a very special chapter in my career,” Jorge said upon his departure from the club.
“It was an honour to represent Al Rayyan with seriousness and dedication. A great club, and with very good people. Throughout this period, I had the privilege of working with high level professionals and sharing the day-to-day life with a group of players who always demonstrated commitment."
