Doha, Qatar: Al Shamal, last season's Qatar Stars League runners-up, said Sunday that it had signed Tunisia international Mohamed Ali ben Romdhane from Egyptian club Al Ahly.
In a statement, Al Shamal added that the Tunisian footballer had successfully passed his medical examination and is poised to join the team's training sessions ahead of the new season, which is set to kick off on Aug. 20 with the opening round of the Doha Bank Stars League.
Romdhane, 21, joined Al Ahly in the summer of 2025 from Hungarian Ferencvarosi TC and made 33 appearances in various competitions during the 2025-26 season, scoring two goals and helping the team win the Egyptian Super Cup.
The upcoming season is particularly significant for Al Shamal, which will make its historic debut in the AFC Champions League Elite.
The club has already signed Frenchman Wesley Said, Uruguayan Federico Bais, and Ibrahim Coulibaly.
