Al-Sadd SC, a Qatari professional association football club, has gained entry to Asian Football Confederation (AFC) competitions on several occasions. They have represented Qatar in the Champions League on nineteen occasions, the now-defunct Cup Winners' Cup four separate occasions and FIFA Club World Cup on two occasions.

History

In the 1989 season, they became the first Arab club side to triumph in the Asian Club Championship by defeating Al-Rasheed of Iraq on an aggregate of away goals. Twenty-two years later, they won the 2011 Asian Champions League and earned a spot in the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup, in which Al-Sadd finished third. They also earned a spot in the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup automatically as host club, in which Al-Sadd finished sixth.
