Al-Duhail was founded in 2009 in the name of Lekhwiya who has the biggest financial budget in Qatar, and its beginning was in the Second Division, and it only lasted for one season.[1] In his first season in the Qatar Stars League, Lekhwiya won the title to present himself as a new competitor to start a great competition with Al Sadd, which is the largest club in Qatar and the most titled.[2] on the other side Al-Sadd was shining in the AFC Champions League where it won the title for the second time in its history.[3][4] and qualifies to participate in the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup as the first Qatari club and achieved third place. In the same season Lekhwiya won the league title for the second time in a row.[5] To continue his dominance in the Qatar Stars League for two more times, in the middle of it a championship for Al Sadd in the 2012–13 season, surpassing him. In the same season they met for the first time in the Crown Prince Cup final, which ended with Lekhwiya winning the title for the first time.
