The matches scheduled for Saturday evening between Al-Arabi and Al-Sailiya, as well as Al-Shamal and Qatar SC, in the Doha Bank Stars League have been officially canceled.

Details: The league's management and club representatives announced that the fixtures have been postponed indefinitely. The decision was made urgently after direct instructions from local authorities and the league administration in response to the "current circumstances" affecting safety in the country.

Organizers emphasized that, given the current situation, the top priority is the safety and well-being of citizens. The decision to cancel the matches was dictated by the need to follow the security protocols implemented by the Qatari authorities. Fans who were already heading to the stadium were advised to remain at home and strictly follow the official instructions broadcast by authorities in real time.

Recall: Michail Antonio signs contract with Qatari side Al-Sailiya.
