Al-Gharafa has officially announced the recruitment of four new players, including three from Al-Duhail SC, in preparation for the upcoming 2024-2025 Qatar Stars League season. The club’s latest acquisitions include Rabeh Yahya, Assim Madibo, Mohamed Muntari, and Jamal Hamed.
Rabeh Yahya, a right winger, joins Al-Gharafa after spending the previous season on loan at Al-Wakrah SC. Yahya, who is known for his speed and agility, aims to add a new dimension to Al-Gharafa’s attacking options.
Defensive midfielder Assim Madibo, a key figure at Al-Duhail for the past eight years, also makes the switch. Madibo’s experience and leadership are expected to bolster Al-Gharafa’s midfield stability.
Meanwhile, forward Mohamed Muntari, who has been with Al-Duhail since 2019, brings a proven track record of goal-scoring prowess to his new club.
Jamal Hamed, the fourth signing, arrives from Muaither SC, where he was under contract until 2027.
The 25-year-old Hamed has committed to a five-year deal with Al-Gharafa, showcasing the club’s intent to invest in long-term talent.
This strategic recruitment drive is part of Al-Gharafa’s broader effort to enhance its squad ahead of the new season, set to kick off in just over a month.
The club is focused on building a cohesive and competitive team capable of challenging for top honors in the Qatar Stars League.
The recruitment of Yahya, Madibo, and Muntari is part of a larger exchange agreement between Al-Gharafa and Al-Duhail.
As part of this deal, Hummam Al Amin will move in the opposite direction to join Al-Duhail.
Al-Duhail’s management highlighted the cooperative and fraternal spirit of this agreement in their official statement: “In the spirit of cooperation and fraternal relations between the two clubs, the management of Al Duhail club has agreed with that of Al Gharafa club on an exchange agreement.
This agreement will see players Mohamed Muntari, Assim Madibo, and Rabeh Yahya join Al Gharafa in exchange for the player Hummam Al Amin who will join our club.”
Al-Gharafa’s management believes that this exchange will benefit both clubs, enhancing their respective squads for the forthcoming season.
The club’s supporters are eagerly anticipating the impact of these new signings on their team’s performance.
With the Qatar Stars League season fast approaching, Al-Gharafa is focused on fine-tuning its squad.
Pre-season training sessions and friendly matches will provide the new signings with an opportunity to integrate into the team and develop chemistry with their new teammates.
Al-Gharafa’s head coach is optimistic about the club’s prospects, citing the new signings as key components in their strategy to improve upon last season’s performance.
The club’s management is also hopeful that the blend of experienced players and fresh talent will help Al-Gharafa compete at the highest level.
