Al Kharaitiyat SC (Arabic: نادي الخريطيات) is a Qatari sports club based in the town of Al Kharaitiyat, best known for its football team of the Qatar Stars League. Home games are played at Al-Khawr Stadium in the northern city of Al Khor. They are a relatively new club, having been formed in 1996. They won the Qatari Second Division in 2004 meaning that they would play in the QSL the following season. However, they were relegated on their first season in the top flight. They once again regained their position in the Qatar Stars League in the 2008–09 season and have remained there ever since.
