Former Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has joined Qatari side Al Shamal SC on a free transfer.
Mahrez had been a free agent after leaving Al Ahli in July after three years at the Saudi Pro League club.
The 35-year-old featured for Algeria at the World Cup this summer, where he had three goal contributions in four games in their run to the round-of-32.
"His left foot made history and our ambition is writing the next chapter. Riyad Mahrez in Al Shamal colours," the Qatari club posted on X.

Al Shamal compete in the Qatar Stars League (QSL) and are currently fifth in the table.
The former Algeria international won five Premier League titles during his time in England, four with Manchester City and one with Leicester City. He was also a part of City's Treble winning side in 2023.
Mahrez left for Al Ahli in 2023 and won AFC Champions League Elite titles in 2025 and 2026.
