The existing clubs in such period, such as Al Tahrir, Al-Wehda, Al-Ahrar, Qatar, Al-Oroba, Al-Khoor, Al- Wakrah and Al- Najah participated in the volleyball activities

On 2/1/1979, the decree No.1 of 1979 was issued to form the Supreme Council for Youth Welfare under the head of His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, the honest Crown Prince

On 14/3/1979 the honest Crown Prince issued a decision to form the Olympic committee, headed by His Highness Sheikh Abdullah Bin Khalifa Al Thani, hence starting a new stage for the Qatari modern sport.

Generally, we can say that the development of volleyball in Qatar and the (above- mentioned) general sport development started with the establishment of Youth Welfare Department affiliated to the Ministry of Education, then the decision of merging the clubs. Hence, issuing the decision of establishing the Supreme Council for Youth Welfare and the Qatari Civil Olympic Committee in the early of 1979, resulting in the establishment of the Qatari volleyball Association in its modern shape.

On 18/ 12/2000, his Excellency Abdul Rahman Bin Abdullah bin Khaled Al Thani headed the tenth Board of Directors, hence continuing the achievements until 2003 when his Excellency Dr. Abdullah Bin Youssouf Al Maal re-headed the eleventh Board until 2008, then the assignment of the twelfth Board under the head of Mr. Khaled Ali Almoulawi until 2017.

In 2017, Mr. Ali Bin Ghanim Al-Kuwari (the current president) of the Qatari Volleyball Association was selected to be the head of the thirteenth Board, which achieved several successes and international championships resulting in the continuity of a successful career for the Qatari Volleyball in both local and international forums. The Asian Eliot Championship 2018 was achieved for the first time in the Qatari Volleyball History. In addition, through the years 2018 and 2019, the international classification of the beach volleyball reached to the ninth grade, then the eighth one from the total of 220 countries. Furthermore, the Association used to host international championships of beach volleyball like: the international Katara championship, four-star and the Asian Aspire championship for beach volleyball, rather than achieving Arab Championships for clubs and colored medals in the Asian clubs.

The team of Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan battled hard during the course of the competition – eventually earning the bronze medal against Latvian team. Mohammed, a board member of the Qatar Volleyball Association, and Salem Al Kuwari, the vice chairman of the beach volleyball committee, expressed their joy at Qatar’s beach volleyball team’s historic victory and their hope for further victories, whether at the Olympics in Paris in 2024 or other international competitions.

When the pair arrived in Japan, they were the best team in the world, but getting to the Shiokaze Park’s sand wasn’t at all simple. In reality, only a few months prior, their chances of qualifying for the Olympics were far from assured as they clung to the edge of the cut-off in the provisional rankings.

After winning the nation’s first Olympic medal in the sport—bronze in the men’s division at Tokyo 2020 in 2021—Cherif Younousse and partner Ahmed Tijan were confident they would go down in history.  Younousse claimed – “Everyone now knows Qatar in beach volleyball. It’s on the map.”
