The agreement seeks to build on the existing informal relationship between the Club and Aspetar, and covers medical screening, research, athlete rehabilitation and orthopaedic surgery at the FIFA-accredited Medical Centre of Excellence.
The new agreement will also extend to collaboration on athlete performance assessments, nutrition, and podiatric health as per best practice international standards.
Aspetar services the needs of sports clubs and federations throughout the state of Qatar and also has a formal relationship with Paris Saint-Germain as it looks to establish an exclusive agreement with one club in every top European league.
The partnership follows the visit by Mauricio Pochettino and our Head of Medical & Sports Science Dr Shabaaz Mughal to Aspetar last May as part of an official delegation from the Club on a tour of the hospital where they learned more about the facilities, services and its pioneering sports medicine experts.
