This marks Al Rayyan’s third consecutive Amir Cup victory, in addition to their previous wins of the Qatar Cup and Super Cup this season.

QVA’s Al Kuwari praised the performance of both teams in the final match, as well as the growth of volleyball in Qatar.

Al Kuwari noted that Al Rayyan “demonstrated an advanced level of playing during the tournament, which enabled it to snatch the title thanks to its excellent performance, despite fierce competition.”

Moreover, Al Kuwari highlighted that the intensity of winning teams this season was a positive development that would encourage all clubs to compete vigorously and secure next season’s title.

Despite the delayed start to the season due to Qatar’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, this season’s competition ended in a dramatic fashion.
