History

The inaugural Sheikh Jassim Cup was held in 1977.[2] Prior to the 2014 Sheikh Jassim Cup, all 18 Qatari football clubs competed in the cup. Under this format, the teams were divided into four groups with the winners from each group qualifying for the semi-finals.[1]

The cup serves as the opening event to the Qatar's football season.[1] Al Sadd SC are the most successful team in the competition's history, having won the trophy on 15 occasions.[3]
