Doha, Qatar - Eight teams have earned their spots in the quarterfinals of the second Football Tournament for Imams, Muezzins and their sons, organized by Qatar's Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs. The group stage concluded, paving the way for knockout matches on August 16 and 17 at Omar Bin Al Khattab Secondary School for Boys.
Twenty teams participated in the group stage, displaying strong performances and enthusiastic involvement from imams, muezzins, and their sons. The tournament, one of the ministry's key summer sports initiatives, aims to foster social connections, encourage physical activity, and provide a competitive environment that integrates sport with social and educational values.
The eight teams advancing to the quarterfinals emerged from a fiercely competitive group stage that began on July 27. Each day, three matches were played, with participants showcasing impressive technical skills and maintaining fair play throughout the energetic sporting atmosphere.
The eight quarterfinalists were distinguished by their strong performances, tactical discipline, and outstanding teamwork. The tournament format balances sporting competition with the broader social objectives of the event.
