Representing Al Sadd SC in the Qatar Stars League (QSL), Afif delivered a season to remember\u2014leading his club with 26 league goals and 14 assists, guiding them to another league title and thrilling fans with his flair, creativity, and clinical finishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born in Doha to a Yemeni father and a Qatari mother, Akram Afif\u2019s rise to the top of Qatari football has been nothing short of inspirational. A product of the renowned Aspire Academy, Afif\u2019s early exposure to European football, including stints with Villarreal CF and KAS Eupen, shaped his technical and tactical abilities. Since his return to Al Sadd, he has consistently been a standout performer in the QSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_1748523773098-1.jpg?resize=640%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_1748523773098-1.jpg?resize=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_1748523773098-1.jpg?resize=100%2C67&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_1748523773098-1.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_1748523773098-1.jpg?resize=18%2C12&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_1748523773098-1.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking after receiving the award, Afif said, \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to be named QFA Player of the Year. This award is not just mine\u2014it belongs to my teammates, coaches, and fans who support me every day. I\u2019m proud to represent Qatar and my Yemeni heritage on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afif\u2019s 2024\u201325 season also included stellar performances for the Qatar national team, where he played a key role in World Cup qualifiers and continued to be a vital figure following Qatar\u2019s AFC Asian Cup victory in early 2024. In the final of that tournament, Afif made headlines by scoring a hat-trick of penalties against Jordan and earning the Player of the Match award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His Player of the Year award from the QFA follows a string of major honors. Earlier this year, Afif was also named Best Footballer in Asia for 2024, becoming the first West Asian to win that prestigious award since its inception. His consistent brilliance has helped raise the profile of Qatari football on the global stage, especially as the country builds momentum toward future World Cup campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250529_160511.jpg?resize=533%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250529_160511.jpg?resize=533%2C800&amp;ssl=1 533w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250529_160511.jpg?resize=67%2C100&amp;ssl=1 67w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250529_160511.jpg?resize=768%2C1154&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250529_160511.jpg?resize=8%2C12&amp;ssl=1 8w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250529_160511.jpg?w=852&amp;ssl=1 852w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Football analysts and fans alike have praised Afif\u2019s intelligence on the ball, quick decision-making, and unmatched vision. His versatility allows him to operate effectively as a winger, playmaker, or even a second striker, making him a nightmare for defenders and a treasure for any coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>QFA President Jassim Rashid Al Buenain praised Afif during the awards ceremony, stating, \u201cAkram Afif embodies the spirit of Qatari football\u2014passion, resilience, and excellence. His achievements are a source of national pride, and he continues to inspire the next generation of players.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the 2025\u201326 season approaches, all eyes will remain on Akram Afif.
