History
The Emir of Qatar Cup is the biggest football cup in the country. The cup was originally only contested by first division teams, but in 1999 the Qatar Football Association decided to allow all second division teams to participate. The cup was played for the first time in 1972, and was won by Al Ahli. The most successful teams are Al Sadd SC with 18 titles and Al-Arabi SC with eight titles. In total, eight teams have won the competition. Ali Absi was the first foreign referee to officiate a match in the first edition of the Emir Cup.
