DOHA: In the presence of President Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Thani, Qatar Football Association (QFA) on Saturday marked the end of the season with a glittering ceremony where Al Rayyan star Rodrigo Tabata emerged as the Player of the Year.

Other winners on Saturday at Qatar National Convention Centre included Jorge Fossati who bagged the ‘Coach of the Year’ award.
Al Sadd’s Abdulkareem Hassan was adjudged the “best Young Player of the Year’.
El Jaish’s Abdulrazzaq Hamadallah picked up the ‘top Scorer’ award along with Tabata. Both players scored 21 goals in the season.
