Al-Saqr Magazine is a well-established weekly Qatari publication that has been around since 1977. It is known as both a sports and military magazine, as it was published during a time when Doha was a meeting hub for military athletes from all over the Arab world. The magazine's name, Al-Saqr, comes from the Arabic word for falcon, which symbolises military prowess, bravery, dignity, as well as sports pride and endurance.
The magazine achieved great success as its popularity stretched across the Arab world, even reaching Arab-speaking communities in Latin America, Europe, and Africa. The magazine brought media professionals together from different Arab nationalities, and throughout its journey, succeeded in linking Arab youth through sports.
