Registrations are to be made according to the technical needs and financial capabilities of each club.

Furthermore, upon reaching the age of 18, a player may sign his first professional contract only with his primary club until the age of 23. After reaching the age of 23, he is free to choose to remain or sign with any other club for free upon the expiration of his contract, provided that the value of his new contract does not exceed the specified ceiling.

Legal action will be taken against any party entering into an irregular contract. The minimum annual contract value is QR240,000, double the previous limit, while the maximum contract value for a local player is QR2.7 million. Regarding international players, the ceiling starts at QR2.7 million for those who have played at least 10 international matches, and reaches QR4.5 million for those who have played more than 50 international matches. During the workshop, several questions and concerns raised by club representatives and attendees were clarified, emphasizing that these new amendments aim to enhance the professional aspects of Qatari football and continue the development process at all levels.
