Northwestern Qatar is involved in a sports league with other Education City universities and higher education institutions in Qatar. The Qatar Foundation organizes tournaments throughout the year, and Northwestern Qatar has several sports teams who take part in these.
Qatar Foundation regularly organizes tournaments for the following sports:
Northwestern Qatar also has a Women's Tennis Club which organizes their own tournaments.
We encourage all students to join a sports team or even start their own if they don’t find one that interests them. There are many benefits to playing sports, including improved physical and mental health, increased athletic abilities, the development of teambuilding and leadership skills, and expanding one’s network.
If you want to play on any sports team, you must first register with Student Affairs. Registration happens twice a year, generally at the beginning of each semester. All registered students will undergo a selection process, including an academic and student conduct check. You may also need to take part in a tryout if you want to compete on behalf of the University.
