The Qatar Stars League welcomed a delegation from Brazilian side Chapecoense to Al Bidda tower yesterday.
The club tragically lost members of their playing and coaching staff in an airplane disaster that took the lives of 77 people aboard in late November including head coach Caio Junior and striker Bruno Rangel who had enjoyed time playing and coaching in Qatar.
In Qatar, Junior won the national league title with Al-Gharafa in 2009-10 and won the Sheikh Tamim's Cup and Qatar Stars Cup, also in 2009.
Junior also spent his 14-year professional career in Brazil and Portugal.
Júnior started working as a manager in 2002, going on to be in charge of a host of clubs.
Hani Ballan, CEO of the Qatar Stars League met with Plínio David de Nes Filho the President of Chapecoense to discuss a range of issues of mutual interest, including ways of future calibration between the two parties.
The Brazilian side’s delegation had been invited to Qatar at the request of the head of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Thani, President of Qatar Football Association and Qatar Stars League.
