Barcelona’s Xavi to join Qatar’s Al Sadd football team
Barcelona FC superstar Xavi Hernandez is expected to announce tomorrow that he will join Qatar’s Al Sadd football team at the end of this season, individuals close to the midfielder have said.
His agent, Ivan Corretja, told the BBC today that the athlete – known to his legions of fans as simply “Xavi” – would also serve as an ambassador for the 2022 World Cup.

Rumors that the 35-year-old midfielder was moving to Qatar have been swirling for months.
