The al-Jaish Sports Club ( al-Jaish for short ; Arabic الجيش Al-Jaish , DMG al-Ǧayš , the army ') is a Qatari sports club from Doha . He has teams in handball, volleyball, basketball, table tennis and athletics. The football department dissolved in the course of the merger with Lehwiya in 2017.
Soccer department
The professional football team currently plays in the country's top division, the Qatar Stars League . Al-Jaish, who represents the Qatari armed forces , rose in the 2010/11 as champions of the Qatar Second Division for the first time in the first division.
In 2013, a controversy between the club and its French player Zahir Belounis attracted international media attention: Belounis, who moved to al-Jaish from Switzerland in 2007, asked for support after he was neither paid his outstanding salary nor granted an exit permit for a year and a half that foreigners employed in Qatar need from their employer according to the controversial Kafala system . Following the advocacy of French President François Hollande , he was allowed to leave the country shortly afterwards, but had to waive all claims against al-Jaish beforehand.
For the 2017/18 season , the club merged with Lehwiya to form al-Duhail SC .
