Welcome to Doha Hockey Club

Doha Hockey Club
warmly welcomes all players keen to play social hockey. The club has a broad player base, from beginners to ex-International and European first division players.  At last count we had players from 22 different countries, ranging in age from 6 to 60!

As the biggest club in Qatar, Doha Hockey Club
has fielded teams in the Qatar Hockey League for the past 4 years. Our primary focus is social hockey; to enjoy the game in a social environment, improve fitness and enrich the experience of working in Qatar.

The club is also extremely active on the International hockey tour circuit, sending teams to play at tournaments in Dubai and Singapore in recent years. We also host tournaments here in Qatar for visiting teams from around the region.

In addition to hockey, the club has a thriving social scene with numerous events on offer throughout the year, ranging from fun days out for the whole family to sophisticated black-tie occasions at 5* hotels.

So regardless of your background, age or ability, come along and join us!

As we have now started training, it is time to kick off the social side of the season. As most of you will be aware, the main reason many of us are involved in Hockey here in Doha is to meet new people and unwind.

To that end, the social committee would like to invite you to join them for a drink (and perhaps a dance) at the Irish Harp bar in the Sheraton Hotel.We'll be meeting there on Friday the 21st of October at 8pm.

For those of you who are not yet members at the Irish Harp, you'll need to get a membership card on the night (it costs QR35 and you'll need your ID card or Passport). It only takes a few minutes.

There's usually a band and DJ on and it stays open until quite late. They also have a pretty decent menu, so if you get peckish there's plenty on offer. Looking forward to seeing you down there!

We'll be hitting the Marriott hotel for their 'Gourmet Route' evening buffet. The food selection  is the same as the Friday brunch but it is open for longer!

The buffet and bar open at 6.30pm and close at 10.30pm which means 4 hours of all you can eat and drink. The alcoholic beverage selection includes sparkling wine,  red/white wine and beer.

The cost is QR320 with Alcohol and QR230 with just soft drinks.

After dinner, those that wish to carry on partying can head to the Pearl nightclub at the Marriott.
