Transfers
The lanky Danish centre-back was unveiled by The Sailors as the replacement for Australian Trent Sainsbury, with the club looking to build on last season’s success.
Scholz is a familiar face in Asia, having spent three seasons with Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds.
The 31-year-old played a big part in Urawa lifting the Emperor’s Cup in 2021 and the AFC Champions League™ and Japanese Super Cup in 2022.
A return to the continental stage is on the cards for Scholz, with Al Wakrah’s Qatar Cup success earning them a spot in AFC Champions League Two™ 2024/25.
Al Wakrah’s Spanish head coach Miguel Ramirez will expect to build a formidable defence with Scholz to partner Qatari international Lucas Mendes.
