Doha: The Qatar Stars League (QSL), the highest professional league in Qatari football, has awarded 10 winners with one million Qmiles each, courtesy of Qatar Airways (QA). 
The competition is part of QSL Football Rewards loyalty programme which encourages everyone in Qatar to attend their favourite team’s matches and rewards fans with once in a lifetime prizes in partnership with QA plus discounts from other partners across Qatar. 
The winners are season card holders Meethale Aslam, Mark Mead, Marilyn Lilly and Ghanim Alhamadi; Al Sadd fans Hassen Alkhayat and Samseer Arakkal, Qatar Sports Club fans Amine Elidrissi and Michael Scallon; Merilee Patrick, an Al Wakrah fan and Muharrem Dayioglu, an Umm Salal fan. 
Each winner attended games during the competition and hail from countries, including Qatar, Canada, India, Malaysia, Morocco, Turkey and the UK.
Khalifa Saleh Al Haroon, Executive Director, Marketing & Communications, said: “The promotion was a big success and I am delighted that our winners can now travel the world with QA.
“QSL is going from strength to strength and initiatives such as Football Rewards play an important part in inspiring the next generation of fans in Qatar to support a local team. We look forward to launching more great opportunities like this in the future.”
Launched earlier this year, the competition was open to anyone purchasing a ticket online at tickets.qsl.com.qa and attending a match between February and March. 
Winners with an opportunity to fly out with a friend on QA to an FC Barcelona match at Camp Nou in Barcelona were announced earlier this month.
